What are the 4 types of PCOS?

There are 4 types of PCOS-

 

1)            Insulin resistant PCOS- it is the most common PCOS. High level of insulin prevents ovulation and increases the level of testosterone. It is caused by smoking, pollution, trans fats and sugar.

 

2)            Pill induced PCOS- consuming birth control pills suppress ovulation and is the second most common PCOS.

 

3)            Inflammatory PCOS- inflammation prevents ovulation, produces androgens and causes hormonal imbalance. Stress, environmental toxins and inflammatory diet are the causative factors of inflammatory PCOS.

 

4)            Hidden PCOS – it is caused by thyroid disease, iodine and zinc deficiency and artificial sweeteners.
