A member asked:
Does facial features/fat distribution on face change due to pcos? if yes, how to treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Pcos does change the amount of fat a woman has and where her fat is. You treat it with exercise, weight loss (if indicated), sometimes metformin, sometimes oral contraceptives. Talk to your doctor about possible treatments. In the meantime, try to eat healthy, exercise, and if, indicated, lose weight. Good luck!
