A member asked:

I believe i have pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome) i am going to get tested for it, but my question for you is, can pcos ever be cured?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe : PCOS is definately treatable, so you need to discuss treatment with your GYN. As far as curing it, weight loss can correct the hormone imbalance for most women. If you are one of the unsusual thin PCOS patients, then weight loss won't help, and treatment is needed.
