It depends: It depends. Before i answer your question, i need to know following questions. 1. When have you been diagnosed with pcos? 2. How often you have your periods? 3. What is your bmi? 4. Have you been treated for pcos? If you diagnosed early, start regular exercise and loss weight, take ocp to regulate your period, your risk of endometrial cancer will be same as general population.
