What is the treatment of PCOS?
Like diagnosis, there is no single treatment that fits all patients. Each patient requires a tailor made therapy designed for her. The treatment for an adolescent girl with weight problems would be different from a 28yr old lady trying to conceive which would again be different from someone who has problems with excess facial hair or acne. Whatever the age and whatever the problem, weight loss forms the first line of treatment. It has been seen that even a loss of 5% of body weight regularizes periods; kick starts fertility and reduces chances of abortions besides reducing other problems associated with PCOS.
