A member asked:
A dr. said i had polycystic ovarian syndr, but i don't have cysts, obesity or extreme body hair. only medium acne & menstrual cramps.is that possible?

Yes: The polycystic ovary syndrome has a wide variety of presentations. Anovulation and certain hormonal changes are the key factors although obesity, excessive hair growth, and a certain type of ovarian cysts are common. The menstrual cramps can be part of it if your periods are heavy. You need to be concerned about the Insulin resistance which is common and can lead to diabetes.
