Lifestyle: The mainstay of pcos treatment is aerobic exercise and weight loss. Metformin has been part of the regimen for over a decade and helps some. This is a very common situation that is of widely variable severity. Good luck.

Hirsutism: No question that lifestyle intervention for weight loss and fitness helps. There are many adolescent girls and women who may also suffer from excessive hair growth to face, chest, belly, and lower back. Oral contraceptive agents +/- spironolactone may be used in select patients who have hirsutism. Your doctor can help determine this.
