Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS symptoms include irregular periods or no periods, excess hair growth, acne, weight gain, darkening of the skin, thinning hair, infertility, and ovarian cysts. Not all women with PCOS have all symptoms. Consult a healthcare provider if you think you have PCOS.
The treatment for PCOS depends on the individual's specific symptoms and goals. Some treatment options may include:
Lifestyle changes such as weight loss, regular exercise, and a healthy diet
Medications such as birth control pills, metformin, or hormone therapy
Fertility treatments for those trying to conceive, such as ovulation induction or in vitro fertilization
Surgery to remove ovarian cysts or to help with weight loss.
