Why does pcos cause acid reflux and other digestive issues?
8 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
It doesn't ...: Pcos itself shouldn't cause acid reflux or digestive issues. Metformin (glucophage) may be used for treatment of pcos and can cause nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. We try to reduce these side effects by using extended-release tablets, starting at a low dose (500 mg a day) and by increasing slowly over 3-4 weeks. Some can't tolerate metformin. Some with pcos are overweight which increases acid reflux.

It doesn't: Pcos is the condition of having many small follicular cysts on and in the ovaries. In the majority of cases, pcos is associated with obesity. Obesity is frequently associated with reflux and other digestive issues.
