Pcos is a lifestyle disease where in there is a basic metabolic problem, the cells can not use insulin and hence glucose and this excess glucose is then stored as fats in the body. The hormonal disturbance also results in excess of estrogen and androgens which cause weight gain, w ater retention, acne, hirsutism, pigmentation on nape of neck etc. These excess androgens (male hormones) make a person have a" different appearance" and this is the major facotr operating in your case. Your weight seems ok for your height but if could do well with some 10-15% loss, and this will need to be done with diet, exercises and medicines. The best treatment for pcos is pregnancy if you are married, you could go for infertility treatments, if you are not, you can visit a gynecologist for evaluation and doctor will prescribe you medicines to control the androgens in your body. Do not worry about the medicines causing tummy upset. Mention this to the gynec doctor and they will prescribe appropriate medicines along with hormones and others, to tackle your issue. Do not neglect the treatment for avoiding medicines. At times the medicines to control androgens and pcos take time, and the pigmentation may also need some attention by a skin specialist if needed.
