Does PCOS affect weight?

Dr Sarah Jarvis MBE Symptoms can vary from mild to severe. For example, mild unwanted hair is normal, and it can be difficult to say when it becomes abnormal in women with mild PCOS. At the other extreme, women with severe PCOS can have marked hair growth, infertility and obesity. Symptoms may also change over the years. For example, acne may become less of a problem in middle age but hair growth may become more noticeable. https://patient.info/health/polycystic-ovary-syndrome-leaflet#nav-4
