Lifelong...: Lifelong if you do not correct the usual underlying problem: metabolic syndrome secondary to Insulin resistance. This means\ weight loss, and a low carbohydrate diet. Once you are beyond your fetile years, other issues will become seriously important. And your fear of a gynecologic exam is unwarranted!
