Dr. Seth Derman answered

Specializes in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

No cure: Pcos is treatable but not curable. Watching your carbs, keeping your weight under control and exercising may help and is always a good idea. Your doctor may be ble control the symptoms but it is a chronic condition, likely genetic, that we cannot cure.
