How to treat estrogen dominance caused due to pcos? bcp doesn't seem to help so anything besides that.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try progesterone: You may benefit from transdermal Progesterone cream. Many people tolerate this better than the synthetic progestin found in birth control pills. There is also a lot that can be done with the diet to help treat pcos, most having to do with re-sensitizing your body to insulin.
