pcos

[river]

Does anyone else on here have it? What have you done to manage your symptoms? Please help

Hi river, I have pcos and I manage my symptoms in a variety of ways. The first is mainly by taking the right type of hormones, this is done by me taking the pill, microgynon. Were there any specific symptoms you wanted help with?

Hi river, i too have PCOS. i take dianette to ease symptoms, i find dianette works well at reducing excess hair and acne. PCOS is related to glucose tolerance, so a low sugar diet will help stabilise weight and help to reduce symptoms, hope this helps xx
