PCOS losing weight: Sometimes weight loss can reverse PCOS. PCOS is a disease which often times leads to elevated levels of Testosterone and Testosterone like hormones causing irregular menses associated with lack of ovulation. Losing weight has been shown to reduce the elevated T levels and restore normal ovulation and menstrual regularity. People are heterogeneous and losing weight may not reverse pco for everyone.
