A member asked:
Why is having a healthy weight along with a healthy diet, exercise, and lifestyle so important for pcos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PCOS: What you listed is important for all ages. What is important for PCOS patients is to limit the exposure to constant estrogen without ovulation, which can develop into potential malignancies over long periods of time. Low dose contraceptives , if no contraindications, offer protection, since ovarian production is stopped.
