PCOS treatments: time to take action
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can’t be cured, but your symptoms can be treated.
Treatments for your PCOS symptoms
Treatments for PCOS can vary due to the large range of symptoms.
Lifestyle changes – if you’re overweight your doctor will probably have recommended you try and lose weight. The NHS states that a 5% loss in body weight can significantly improve your PCOS symptoms. Although losing weight can be difficult when you have PCOS, being patient and determined and having a specific PCOS diet plan will help you get there.
Prescription medication – you could be prescribed the contraceptive pill in order to help regulate your periods. You may also be prescribed a drug to increase your insulin sensitivity.
