Multiple options: So you really need a full evaluation for other metabolic problems such as cholesterol, pre-diabetes. That helps determine the true extent of pcos. Treatment depends on those lab tests but also your symptoms. Periods can be controlled with various types of pills. Insulin and sugar abnormalities can be controlled with other medication, diet and exercise. Fertility can be addressed in several ways.

Weight loss: Weight loss may help. Ocp's would help to regulate the cycle. Fertility meds to induce ovulation would improve fertility.

Nutritional Rx: Pcos is caused by high estrogen (e2)combined with high Insulin which then transforms e2 into testosterone. Excess carbs can elevate both Insulin (via stimulation of pancreas) and e2 (via competitive inhibition of glucoronidase enzyme) a low carb diet reduces both Insulin & e2 thus positively impacting this metabolic disease. Avoid fried foods, veg oils, soy.
