Why am I suddenly gaining weight with PCOS?
Patient's Query
I've been gaining weight suddenly , I have had PCOS for 4 years now but suddenly last year I started gaining weight , i changed from 58kg to 68 kg in just a year or so . I've not changed by diet much but still I am gaining weight, and when I try to exercise I am getting really short of breath , I can't even exercise the most simple things
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
The weight gain could be due to your PCOS which can produce imbalances in hormones and influence metabolism. The shortness of breath accompanying exercise could indicate poor fitness or be a symptom of an underlying health problem. A gynecologist's visit is needed for a full assessment and advice on how to handle your PCOS and weight issues. In the meantime, try gentle exercises like walking and focus on a balanced diet to help improve your health.
