A member asked:
What cause of pcos? how to prevent it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably cannot: Prevent it. Pcos has a genetic component, so it's partly inherited. About half or women with pcos will have some extra weight; these women can reduce the symptoms from pcos through weight-loss, exercise, and (possibly) low-glycemic index diet. However, 50% of pcos are thin and even skinny, so weight-loss doesn't apply to them.
