Because there is no cure for PCOS, it needs to be managed to prevent problems. Treatments are based on the symptoms each person is having and whether she wants to conceive or needs contraception. Birth control pills, diabetes medications, fertility medications, and medicine for increased hair growth or extra male hormones are usually the treatment of choice.  Maintaining a healthy weight is another way women can help manage PCOS. Although it is not recommended as the first course of treatment, surgery called ovarian drilling is available to induce ovulation.

I have PCOS.  I have thinning hair, hair in other places (facial), overweight, no period in about a year, heart murmur, boarderline high blood pressure, infertility, acanthosis nigricans and undiagnosed insulin resistance.  There are probably more that are conected to PCOS.  From what I have read PCOS and insulin resistance go hand in hand with most women - which causes the hormonal imbalance.  I'm trying to find a more natural way of controling the PCOS and IR through vitamins, herbs, low carb diet, exercise and support from other women with PCOS.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS, also known clinically as Stein-Leventhal syndrome), is an endocrine disorder that affects 5–10% of women. It occurs amongst all races and nationalities, is the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age, and is a leading cause of infertility. The symptoms and severity of the syndrome vary greatly between women. While the causes are unknown, insulin resistance (often secondary to obesity) is heavily correlated with PCOS.

I'm sorry to say, no there is no cure for it.  There is a lot of research, but no cure yet.  They are coming out with medications that can help.

First of all, God bless you for realizing that probably one of the things that your sister needs the most right now is someone who is going to treat her as if she were "normal" again and not baby her. But with that said, you wont forget that she has this disease. What you can do, is let her lead the way. Give her your time and let her decide what to do with it. God bless both of you.

PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome) does not cause Bulimia.\n\nIf your hormones don't work in the normal way, your ovaries might make too many eggs. Those eggs turn into many cysts. The cysts (say: "sists") are like little balloons filled with liquid. \n\nPolycystic ovary syndrome is called PCOS for short. Women in their childbearing years can get it. It often begins in the teenage years. It doesn't go away. \n\nDoctors don't know what causes PCOS. If you have PCOS, you may have a problem with the way your body uses blood sugar (glucose). Because of this problem, the hormones that control your ovaries and menstrual periods can become abnormal.\n\nIf you have PCOS, you are more likely to get high blood pressure or diabetes. This means you have a greater risk for strokes and heart attacks. \n\nBecause of irregular menstrual periods, women with PCOS are more likely to be infertile (unable to get pregnant). They may also have a higher risk for cancer of the uterus or breast.\n\nYour doctor will look for the signs of PCOS. Blood tests that measure your hormone levels can help. An ultrasound exam can show if you have cysts on your ovaries. \n\nIf you have PCOS, you might need to lose weight. Medicine can help with your menstrual cycle, abnormal hair growth and acne. If you have diabetes or high blood pressure, they have to be treated. If you want to have a baby, there are medicines that may help you get pregnant.

Yup.  Me.  I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.  Talk to your doctor.  And before anyone assumes it is nice, let me mention that we spent five years and about $15,000 dollars trying to get pregnant.\n\nI also understand that women who are severely underweight have such a symptom, such as those who suffer from anorexia.\n\nNot so nice, huh?

I have PCOS too.  The best thing I've found that works for me is exercise, and limiting your intake of fatty and sugary foods.  I also limit my intake of complex carbohydrates such as rice, pasta, potatoes and bread.  In other words, eat sensibly and EXERCISE!

Ovarian cysts are estrogen-driven. They live (and die) according to how much unopposed estrogen is coursing through your body.\n\nIf your infertility is due to the cyst, you can solve both problems in one shot!\n\nNatural progesterone cream has been shown to alleviate some ovarian cysts. It is also a fertility aid, especially in cases where miscarriage has occurred repeatedly.\n\nPlease email so that I can send you the articles I have about it!\n\nAlso, take a look at Dr. John Lee's website at http://www.johnleemd.com. He talks about progesterone use in treating ovarian cysts, and in infertility treatments.

I have had PCOS now for 21 years. Stress and over weight make the hormone imbalance worse. She will need to stick to a low carb diet to make sure that the symptoms don't get worse. She may have some problems conceiving. It took me 7 years to have my wonderful son and I never managed to conceive again. Make sure that she has regular check ups as PCOS sufferes can get cancer of the ovaries, as I did. I am now on Metformin. Just assure her that she is not alone and good luck!

It depends on what symptoms you have.  It sounds like you have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) rather than simply polycystic ovaries.  The symptoms of PCOS are generally caused by two interconnected problems: insulin resistance and overabundance of androgens.\n\nMost women with PCOS are insulin resistant.  In fact, insulin resistance is thought to be the most common cause of PCOS.  Insulin resistance is a state in which the cells of the body do not respond to insulin as efficiently as they should, so the pancreas produces more and more insulin in an effort to keep blood glucose levels within a normal range.  This problem with glucose metabolism and insulin resistance is often what causes weight gain, difficulty losing weight, dark patches of skin (acanthosis nigricans, or AN), high lipid levels, and skin tags--problems often associated with PCOS.\n\nHigh levels of insulin in the body also affect the ovaries.  It's thought that this causes the ovaries to produce too many androgens (male hormones).  That's where you get the rest of the most common PCOS symptoms: acne, thinning hair, unwanted body hair growth, irregular or no periods, anovulation.\n\nFor many women, metformin is very helpful in treating PCOS.  Metformin is an insulin-regulating drug.  By treating the high levels of insulin found in many PCOS patients, many symptoms can be alleviated.  Some PCOS patients who take metformin even begin ovulating regularly, although metformin is not a fertility drug.\n\nBirth control pills are another common treatment for PCOS.  If the woman does not want to get pregnant, birth control pills are a good way to bring about regular periods, and in some women they can help with acne, hair problems, and other symptoms.\n\nFor severe body hair growth, some women with PCOS take the drug spironolactone.  Some women also need antidepressants, as PCOS can be linked to depression and anxiety.\n\nLastly, but most importantly, diet and exercise cannot be overlooked.  Weight loss is very important for women with PCOS, although for those with insulin resistance it may be difficult.  Because of the strong connection to insulin problems, PCOS patients often are advised to follow a low-carb diet.  It is important to eat less fat and cholesterol as well, because PCOS can be linked to high lipid levels.  \n\nI was diagnosed with PCOS three years ago.  I had only 3-4 periods a year, acne, hair growth, thinning hair, AN, and I was overweight.  I'm a pretty typical case with all of the classic symptoms.  Since then, I've also been diagnosed with insulin resistance, high cholesterol, and high triglycerides.  I'm not trying to get pregnant, I just want to be healthier.  I take metformin, Crestor, and a birth control pill.  I follow a low fat, very low cholesterol, high fiber, vegetarian diet and I try to exercise every day.
