A member asked:

Can chronic inflammation (chronic exzema and boils) cause you to ovulate late each cycle & creating pcos?i ovulate but late. no insulin/testoste slim

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Exzema won't prevent you from ovulating or cause PCOS. A mild infection such as a boil won't either. A very severe infection that results in a hospital stay and IV antibiotics could prevent ovulation but won't cause PCOS. The underlying cause of PCOS is insulin resistance in the cells. Higher levels of insulin prevent ovulation and cause PCOS. Best wishes!
