Hello, i have a couple of pcos related questions: would you recommend consumption of spearmint tea to reduce testosterone levels, and should ovarian cysts be examined regularly?

Spearmint: great for tea, digestion and bad breath or cooking/salads. Ovarian cysts should be evaluated every 6-12 month with ultrasound visualization.

PCOS: Health care in the UK is excellent. Before I make any recommendation you should make contact with your gynecologist. Our family left the UK when I was age 3 but my two brothers have returned there after our parents' death. The health care my older brother is getting right now is excellent.
