It can cause it but can be a genetic factor as well its not just obesity, genetic predispositions to PCOS from abnormal hormone levels cause it. Not all women wit PCOS are overweight. . Also PCOS can cause uterine cancer as the uterine lining is not being shed normally and the cells become abnormal causing complex focal hyperplasia (pre cancer) and will develop into cancer so at that point a total hysterectomy is something that would be recommended especially if there is a history of reproductive cancers. PCOS while it may not be cancer yet, could turn into it so getting intervention and getting your periods regulated and jump started is important.She's so dumb. "PCOS isn't unhealthy because so many people have it." PCOS is now widespread because so many people are grossly overweight/obese. There are slim/average weight people who have it too, but they are the minority. I've read research that indicates that in most cases obesity causes PCOS and not the other way around, though we always hear from the gas giants claiming that PCOS is the reason they can't lose weight.
I guess I'm beating a dead horse because we already knew this shit, by her logic if a lot of people do something it can't be wrong/bad/unhealthy.
Slim people are not the minority there are tons of women with it who are not morbidly obese. She needs to see a GYN like now. She needs a lot of things but since her Mother has cancer this is imperative.
