  • stress, poor nutrition, environmental toxin exposure 

2. Insulin-resistant PCOS 

• This can be triggered by:
  • Smoking, high levels of sugar, environmental pollution, and a range of other reasons 

3. Pill-induced PCOS 

• Often this form of PCOS does not last for an extended period of time

• This form of PCOS is easier to manage and is often the result of other reasons including: thyroid disease, vegan/vegetarian diet
