Hello,

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCO) is a condition of unknown cause in which there may be obesity a male pattern of excessive hair growth, infertility, and abnormal hormonal disturbances that are detectable by blood tests.

Malfunction of a particular part of the brain, called the hypothalamus, can cause oligomenorrhea (loss of the periods).

You gain weight probably because of the domination of estrogen as a result of not ovulating regularly. Estrogen retains water in the body. You may need to be put on progesteron hormone pill or bcp to regulate your period.
