OCP's: Women with pcos can have an increased testosterone, which may cause an increased libido. Oral cotraceptive pill's (ocp's) are noted for decreasing the libido by increasing the sex hormone binding globulin - an additional effect in a woman with pcos would be the decrease in testosterone due to the ovarian suppression - both of these factors should result in some decrease in the libido.

Dr. Scott Beard answered

Weight loss: Pcos is a condition where excess hormones - progesterone, estrogen, testosterone and or their analogs/precursors are made by fatty tissues. The only cure is a reduction in weight, although there are a small percentage of underwt women with this. You can treat some symptoms with birth control hormones, and possible metformin, but not "fix it" without decreasing the amount of body fat.

Possibly: Pco's is a medical condition that has a wide clinical variation or appearance. This means different patients, with the same diagnosis of pco's, will exhibit different medical problems. For example, one patient may have acne and another may not have that problem at all. Thus, would need to know the specific symptoms you are trying to resolve to help determine the answer to this question.

Focus On Cause: The signs and symptoms that arise for pcos are due to excessive estrogen. Any way that you can decrease estrogen exposure may help. Others may also recommend balancing your excessive estrogen with additional progesterone. You can explore decreasing your estrogen by reading: the anti-estrogen diet.
