Whats a good way to treat polycystic ovarian syndrome?
I don’t believe that there is any way to treat PCOS as a whole, but most symptoms can be treated individually. For facial hair, you may be offered something like Vaniqa, which is a cream that you apply to stop the regrowth, or at least slow it down. It’s not particularly effective, but some women do report a decrease in facial hair. As for your weight, it often depends how overweight you are. You could be offered Xenical, but that has some nasty side-effects. Basically, weight is honestly down to hard work and determination. Women with PCOS need to follow a low/no fat diet. Step up your exercise if possible. The period side of things can also be treated, but I’m unsure of the drugs used. I’d suggest looking at your diet to start with in order to help yourself. It’s a pretty tought road, but you can manage the symptoms of PCOS. Good luck with your appointment with the specialist; I hope he can help you out.
