Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
PCOS is quite common now a days due to sedentary habit, eating heavy & fast food.
Although in most of the cases PCOS person are overweight but in few cases it is also seen in normal BMI female.
Main symptoms of PCOS are irregular period, increased growth of hair all over body, acne, darkening of skin at fold site & sometimes change in voice also.
First line of treatment of PCOS is weight reduction by doing regular exercise & avoiding fast food & if your BMI is within normal range then maintain your weight.
As soon as weight will reduce all symptoms will subside. if still symptoms persist consult your gynecologist for low dose hormonal pills used to treat this syndrome & get investigated for random blood sugar also.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any questions I will be happy to answer.
Please close the query if you have no other questions.
Wish you a good health.

Hello,
Welcome back.
If you are doing regular exercise but still not losing weight means there is something wrong with food intake.
Instead of taking refined sugar & high fat diet you should take high fibrous diet XXXXXXX in protein & vitamins.
Consult your dietician & get a proper diet chart.
For cystic acne you must take dermatologist opinion there can be need of oral antibiotics along with local application.
Take care
