The signs and symptoms of PCOS are certainly not confined to the reproductive years. If one remembers that the underlying problem in PCOS is likely that of insulin derangement, then it is easy to see why the ovaries are merely secondary players. Ovaries become important when they misbehave, as they govern the menstrual cycle and they are quite sensitive to the effects of tonically elevated insulin.
Men certainly can suffer from insulin insensitivity, too.
