A member asked:
Pcos is conditioned to have low estrogen or high estrogen?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
The hormonal patterns in PCOS are complicated but,surprisingly, estrogen levels are usually within normal range. This may partly be explained by the fact that some of the usually high levels of testosterone seen in PCOS patients is converted to estrogen.

High levels can occur but most women with PCOS have normal estrogen levels.
