100% of PCOS Patients in Practice Have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome

Dr. Dempsey stated that in her clinical practice, every single patient diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome also has mast cell activation syndrome, suggesting PCOS may fundamentally be a mast cell-driven condition rather than a separate endocrine disorder. This represents a potential paradigm shift in understanding and treating PCOS, which affects millions of women worldwide. The finding emerged after 30 years of medical practice focused on women's health.
