The Endocrine Society has renamed PCOS to PMOS. Apparently this reclassification took 10 years.
PCOS is a condition which causes women's eggs to have thickened and malformed collagen wrappers, resulting in problems with ovulation and fertility. It is also frequently comorbid with insulin resistance or diabetes....
The enzyme LOX, which is crucial for cross-linking collagen, is frequently overexpressed in PCOS
P. gingivalis infection significantly upregulates host LOX-1 expression in endothelial cells and macrophages.
Porphyromonas gingivalis may interfere with conception in women
I think the way this works is: The bacteria infect the uterine area. They produce gingipains which degrade the collagen and stimulate overproduction.

While I was suppressing my ovaries, my sister was having her dozens of follicles scraped every year. She actually ended up with the most interesting complication.... Twins who were conceived two weeks apart. True story.
