  "There is a definite risk of ignoring the symptoms, and making the disease worse over the long term," said reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Kathleen Hoeger.
  
  PCOS is characterized by an overproduction of male hormones in women, and also high insulin levels.Weight gain, hair growth and acne are early signs.It raises the risk of heart disease, infertility, and diabetes.
  
  "You cannot erase the fact that you have this tendency towards PCOS, but you can control the symptoms and maybe make no consequences for you across your lifetime," said Dr. Hoeger.
  
  Dr. Hoeger says controlling PCOS early on lowers the risks of infertility, miscarriages, diabetes, heart disease, and uterine cancer.In her study, girls get a hormonal treatment and learn the importance of healthy eating and exercise.
  
  "Many of the girls have lost a fair amount of weight -- certainly more than the goal we set for them of five percent," said Dr. Hoeger.

  Dr. Kathleen Hoeger, reproductive endocrinologist at the Strong Fertility and Reproductive Science Center, says that women anxious and frustrated by their inability to become pregnant often don't see food and fitness as treatment.She encourages them to delay medical infertility treatments for three months while they try improving their diet and activity levels and attend 12 weeks of nutrition classes.
  
  Hoeger says that losing just 5 percent of your weight , 9 pounds for a woman weighing 180 pounds , can normalize menstrual cycles and improve ovulation.
  
  Likewise, the risk for heart disease and diabetes drops with weight reduction of just 7 percent to 10 percent.
  
  Researchers are discovering that fat affects hormones.They once thought that fat cells were like lockers, where the cholesterol was plopped in and the door shut, Hoeger explains.Now, they find that fat cells are active, sending signals that change hormones.
  
  Anecdotally, Hoeger regularly hears that it's harder for women with PCOS to lose weight, compared with their friends who don't have the condition, although that hasn't been studied.
  
  Not all women with PCOS are overweight, but they do tend to have more body fat regardless of their size, Hoeger says.

  Hoeger is affiliated with the lifestyle center.
