If you have PCOS, it can be a constant struggle to keep your weight under control. The increased androgens often cause strong feelings of hunger and cravings for quick carbs. But don't give up - losing weight is definitely possible.
PCOS and weight management
What is PCOS?
PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome, is a hormonal disorder that mainly affects women in their fertile years. It is caused by a hormonal imbalance, particularly excess androgens (male hormones) and reduced sensitivity to insulin.
These hormonal changes can lead to cysts on the ovaries and annoying symptoms such as irregular periods, weight gain, excessive hair growth and acne. You are also at higher risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the long run.
Why do you gain weight with PCOS?
With PCOS, it can be extra difficult to keep your weight under control. Increased androgens cause constant feelings of hunger and cravings for sugary snacks, which can lead to weight gain.
In the case of being overweight, weight loss is the main focus when treating PCOS. This is because losing weight can help you restore your hormone balance, reduce inflammation and alleviate other PCOS symptoms, such as irregular menstruation. It can even increase your chances of getting pregnant.
