So, what are the different types?

  1. Inflammatory PCOS 
  • This is where due to increased inflammation, ovulation is prevented and androgens are released. 
  • There are many reasons why you may be experiencing increased inflammation including
    • 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

4. Hidden PCOS

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