Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have higher levels of Bisphenol A (BPA) and excessive secretion of androgens. Risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and infertility also increases in patients with PCOS. Therefore a healthy diet, exercise, and oral contraceptives are reasonable preventative therapies.
