A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

Hi Ladies. So I got diagnosed today. My doctor wasn't very helpful. I don't know what type of PCOS I have and wasn't aware that there were other types of PCOS. I do a lot of research into things and had questions to ask. But when I got in there today and he told me the news I froze. I still don't really understand this Insulin thing. I have excessive hair growth on my face. Does anyone have any tips for that? That is my main concern at the moment.

Try saw palmetto to reduce androgens which causes hair growth and Inisitol D Chiro Myoisitol it helps with that too

I also have excessive hair growth on my face. I got laser hair removal which helped a lot and cut down on the hair growth. It was very expensive though. And I do still have hair growth it’s just a lot lighter. I think there is some meds that help but I’ve never tried them.
I am also new to all this and trying to figure it out. I feel like the insulin thing is confusing to me too. I’m hungry all the time, even after I just ate. It’s my hardest thing I’m dealing with.
