PCOS and Hashimoto’s?

[masa2333]

Does anyone have PCOS and is it connected to Hashimoto’s in any way? How is it treated? Does it affect thyroid?

My gynecologist suspects that I have it (she said it resembles PCOS while looking the ultra sound) and ordered some sex hormones to be done when I get my period and also OGTT with insulin levels (75mg of glucose) to see if I have insulin sensitivity.

It's very common in people with autoimmune thyroid disease

Thank you. Does it in any way affect the thyroid? How do you treat it?

Don't know what the treatment is - probably hormone replacement or blocking. It doesn't affect the thyroid but can be caused by the same things that cause an underactive thyroid, so they go together
