A member asked:
I have pcos. strangely only my face(particularly cheeks) is very swollen and round. im not even obese. it is not an allergy. what else could this be?

Genetics?: Our facial structure is largely inherited, but if this is a change for you, i would look into getting your cortisol level checked to rule out cushing syndrome which can cause "moon facies". This is not a specific symptom of pcos.
