Four Types of PCOS: Signs, Symptoms, and Holistic Treatment

There are four types of PCOS and every woman experiences PCOS differently based on the type affecting her body.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder based on a collection of symptoms that affects females of reproductive age.

Notably, there are four types of PCOS: 

• Insulin-resistant PCOS - If you have higher insulin levels than normal, you are insulin resistant and have this type of PCOS.  

• Post-birth control pill (BCP) PCOS - Post-BCP PCOS can occur when you stop taking oral contraceptives. Your ovaries experience a temporary surge in androgens because of the type of  synthetic progestin some contraceptive pills use. 

• Inflammatory PCOS - This is a condition where chronic inflammation causes the ovaries to overproduce testosterone, leading to PCOS.  

• Adrenal PCOS -  Often due to abnormal stress response, adrenal PCOS only affects about 10% of those with PCOS.
