A member asked:
I have a lot of pcos symptoms and a difficulty in losing weight. could this weight loss issue be due to thyroid troubles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hormones interact with each other and there a variety of hormone interactions with pcos. Many women with this syndrome have Insulin resistance and have difficulty regulating their blood sugar. The thyroid may play a role but most pcos women have difficulty with their weight due to Insulin resistance and elevated testosterone levels.
