Health & PCO: There is no true pharmaceutical or natural 'cure' for pcos, but maintaining healthy weight (or losing weight) can improve the endocrine profile and some quality-of-life issues. There's some evidence, but not exactly 'proof, ' that diets with low glycemic-index may also be helpful: this is a topic of ongoing research and is worth watching.

Diet, Exercise, OCPs: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is caused by a hormonal imbalance that prevents follicles from growing normally and eggs from being released each month. People w/ PCOS miss periods because they don't ovulate, so there's no signal to shed the uterine lining. Hormone imbalances that lead to abnormal hair growth can be caused by obesity, so watch your diet and exercise. Control w/ birth control pills!
