PCOS: Herbal supplements like Vitex are not likely to help PCOS. The treatment depends on your goals and specific circumstances. Obese PCOS patient can focus on weight loss. PCOS patients who want cycle regulation can consider oral contraceptives. PCOS patient who desire pregnancy can see a doctor to discuss ovulation medications.
