A member asked:
I'm just wondering, if you have polycystic ovary syndrome does it stop you from losing weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PCOS and Weight: Having pcos may make it harder for you to lose weight because pcos may cause some male type hormones to be made by your body. These hormones make it easier to gain weight and to retain fluid as well. Moreover, it makes it harder to lose weight. Your physician may have recommendations for you.
