A member asked:
What are some alternatives to hormonal contraceptives in order to control pcos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Natural health & PCO: There is no pharmaceutical or natural 'cure' for pcos, but maintaining healthy weight (or losing weight) can improve the profile and some quality-of-life issues. There's evidence, but no 'proof, ' that diets with low glycemic-index may help: this is a topic of ongoing research and is worth watching. Prescription meds from a doctor, such as clomipghene can help with trying to get pregnant.
