How can lean women have PCOS?

• Lean PCOS women, we can see higher waist to hip
  ratio, greater intra peritoneal and visceral fat,
  and percentage of body fat in comparison with BMI
  matched non-PCOS women.
• Also, abnormal gene expression in stem cell of
  subcutaneous abdominal fat in normoandrogen and
  ovulatory lean PCOS women display abnormal
  vacuolization and angiogenesis, which may reflect
  metabolism alter in those women
• The new randomized controlled trial, arranged and
  regular physical exercise can ameliorate insulin
  sensitivity, hyperandrogenemia, and menstrual
  regularity in lean PCOS women

Delayed Diagnosis Time

• Because PCOS is associated so strongly with
  obesity, lean women with PCOS often go
  undiagnosed for years. Overweight women with PCOS
  may be diagnosed when they are still in high
  school, especially if their cycles are absent
  or very irregular. Comparatively, lean PCOS women
  may not be diagnosed until they struggle to
  conceive.
• The PCOS diagnosis itself isnt the only delayed
  diagnosis.
• Diabetes
• Heart disease

Insulin Resistance

• Insulin resistance is usually associated with
  obesity. However, as mentioned above, lean women
  with PCOS may be at an increased risk of
  developing insulin resistance despite not being
  overweight.
• It is estimated that between 6 and 22 of
  normal-weight women with PCOS are insulin
  resistance or have hyperinsulinemia.

Emotional Health in Lean Women With PCOS

• PCOS is associated with an increased risk of
  depression and anxiety.
• One study found that lean women with PCOSwhen
  compared to obese women with PCOSwere more
  likely to have problems with anxiety, have lower
  resistance to stress, and have higher levels of
  the hormone ACTH, which is associated with
  increased long-term stress.
• They also found that the more anxiety a lean
  woman with PCOS experiences, the higher levels of
  plasma ghrelin they had.
• Ghrelin is a hormone that causes you to feel
  hungry

Fertility Treatment in "Thin Cysters"

• The most common fertility treatments used for
  women with PCOS are Clomid, letrozole, metformin,
  and, if those are not successful, injectable
  fertility drugs.
• The most common advice given to women wanting to
  get pregnant with PCOS is lose your weight first.
• It is true that, for women who are obese, losing
  5 to 10 percent of their current weight can help
  fertility drugs be more effective. However, this
  doesnt apply to lean PCOS women.
