Unfortunately, no.: Losing weight is very difficult and frustrating issue for patients having pco, despite proper diet and excercise. This is due to several metabolic and hormonal factors associated with the condition. Hypothyoidism can also contribute to this problem. The good news is that the associated cosmetic problems can be treated medically with male hormonal blockers and birth control pills.
