A member asked:

My left ovary is polycystic, can the folic acid help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: If you have elevated homocysteine in your blood Folic Acid supplementation might help. Typically weight loss with 6 small meals a day, stress reduction, and movement through the day to lower Insulin resistance will help. Magnesium is often low in metabolic syndrome which is common in pcos.
