What is the MCC of dynsfunctional uterine bleeding?
an Anovulatory cycle
how does an anovulatory cycle cause DUB?
the lack of ovulation means a progesterone-secreting corpus luteum is not produced. +++ estrogen means the endometrium keeps growing until it just can't anymore so some of it breaks down. Remember, progesterone is what changes it from proliferative to secretory then sloughing offf

Pathophys of POS?
increased LH causes ovaries to overproduce testosterone which is converted by aromatase to estradiol and estrone
What is a high risk factor for POS?
obesity because it means increased FAT and aromatase to convert testosterone and estradiol
