Answer #1

Yes I heard it is possible. I heard it mainly has to do with insulin resistance which causes the weight gain. I think my friend has something like that too and she’s also a little overweight. Just stick to a healthy diet and exercise when you can then you should be alright

Answer #2

Yes, and in regards to a healthy diet, there are many foods can can find out about only that will help lower your testosterone levels, and well as some that will raise your estrogen. I have a similiar problem, and I had dark DARK body hair and skin problems, and it takes a lot of effort, in both activity and diet, to keep things decently regulated.

Answer #3

there is weight gain associated with PCOS but its not related to the higher levels of androgens (like testosterone). PCOS also affects diet-related hormones like insulin and this is where the weight gain comes into it.

Answer #4

It makes you produce muscle more easily when exercising and stuff (the testosterone) and muscle weights more than fat does.. so this can make you heavier.
