A member asked:
What supplements should you take to help with pcos symptoms (hirsutism)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NONE: See GYN or endocrinologist or dermatologist or combination. Do-it-yourself will get you nowhere. Be aware of increased risk of diabetes. Get plenty of exercise, do not smoke, limit alcohol, plan low calorie- high fiber meals. Metformin and spironolactone are 2 of several useful meds
