Can someone be underweight and still have pcos? as i always i heard patients with pcos are often told to lose weight. what if they are already underweight?

Two out of three of the following criteria (Rotterdam criteria) are required to make the diagnosis of PCOS : 1-Oligo- and/or anovulation. 2-Clinical and/or biochemical signs of hyperandrogenism. 3-Polycystic ovaries (by ultrasound). With these criteria, you can see overweight is not a criteria for diagnosing PCOS.
