Around 30 – 40% of women with PCOS are obese. So just being overweight does not make you a PCOS patient. If you have associated irregular cycles, excess body hair and a multi-cystic picture of the ovary in an ultrasound apart from certain hormonal imbalances, diagnosed by blood tests, the diagnosis is more likely.
