It varies.: Pcos is a syndrome that is associated with irregular cycles, irregular or no ovulation, hirsutism (terminal hair growth in a male pattern - chin, upper lip, etc.), Insulin resistance (increased risk for diabetes), and obesity. The syndrome varies from person to person. Treatment depends on what issues the patient has and if the patient is trying to get pregnant or not. Talk to a doctor.
