Have any females here had PCOS?

What is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovarie Syndrome

A friend of mine has it. She was put on the pill and some diabetic meds to help control her hormonal levels. Best solution for her was to loose weight (as its one of the probs women with PCOS have). There are loads of support groups for this…and I’ve even worked with women who had PCOS and now show no signs…so there is a “cure”..so to speak. Don’t worry…its more common than you think…and there are ways to manage it.

This answer might help. It was written by an obstetrician-gynecologist (who I know) in the Philippines, in response to an emailed question from a patient about parovarian cysts and polycystic ovaries. Since I’m not a doctor myself, I can’t quote her words and pretend they’re mine. Full disclosure: I help manage the website to which this link goes. But I also think it’s a real match to your question… and it was written by a professional.
