Hi,

Increase in androgen levels,insulin resistance and other hormonal changes are the cause of weight gain in women with polycystic ovaries.Water retention can occur as a side effect of hormonal pills like Duoluton. Mild physical activity is essential to reduce weight.This symptom will reduce as your body adjusts to new hormone levels. Refined carbs, sugary foods and processed meat should be avoided.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
