PCOS: Treatment often focuses on main concerns. Weight loss and exercise always help. Regulation of cycles with birth control, progesterone on a monthly basis, metformin in the case of insulin resistance, or ovulation inducing medications if pregnancy is desired. Hair growth can be addressed with electrolysis, spironolactone, or vaniqua. Hope this helps you.
