TL;DR
This comprehensive review found that lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, and behavioral interventions) may lead to a modest reduction in body weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and the Free Androgen Index (FAI) in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), suggesting that these interventions can help manage some key symptoms, though their impact on fertility and glucose tolerance remains uncertain.
