Summary

This study tests whether bicalutamide, a drug that blocks male hormones, can improve liver health in women with both PCOS and fatty liver disease. About 50 women aged 18-42 will receive either the drug or a placebo for a short time. The goal is to see if it reduces liver fat and stiffness, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
