Let me explain a bit~ 

📍Being overweight can be a risk factor for developing PCOS, as insulin resistance & hormonal imbalance etc. can be present with obesity. But it's not necessary that only overweight women will develop PCOS 😵 

📍Birth control pills are basically hormone pills that helps in regulating your menstrual cycle & sometimes helps with acne & unwanted hair growth. It Doesn't necessarily treat PCOS, but some symptoms 🙃 

📍You having either irregular periods or acne issues or unintentional hair growth etc. doesn't means you have PCOS. Multiple symptoms altogether indicates PCOS, then also consulting with your gynecologist is necessary before coming to a conclusion 👩‍⚕
