Possible: The underlying defect that causes pcos will not go away but symptoms of pcos like irregular periods, acne, obesity, infertility, facial hair growth or hair loss can be improved or reversed with medical treatment and weight loss.

Yes, diet/exercise: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is caused by a hormonal imbalance that prevents follicles from growing normally and eggs from being released each month. People w/ PCOS miss periods because they don't ovulate, so there's no signal to shed the uterine lining. Hormone imbalances that lead to abnormal hair growth can be caused by obesity, so watch your diet and exercise. Control w/ birth control pills!
