I'm trying to understand more about my PCOS diagnosis. Is it something that I was born with, like a genetic predisposition, or is it something that develops later in life due to various factors? My doctor didn't explain this clearly.

You inherit a predisposition, but it usually develops later due to various factors. Not strictly born with it.
