From Irregular Cycles to Unexplained Weight Gain—Could It Be PCOS?

Stubborn Weight Gain

This isn’t about willpower—PCOS-related weight gain is linked to hormonal imbalances that affect metabolism. If diet and exercise aren’t yielding results, it’s time to consider a deeper reason behind the struggle.
