Overall Treatment
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I've never treated my PCOS, until now I had never knew there was different types, I've tried everything to lose weight, I gain weight rapidly. I have issues with facial hair and thinning head hair, some bald spots starting. My periods are torture, I was considering a partial hysterectomy but my GYN talked me out of it, I already have two children and plan on no more. Where do I even begin for treatment, I was diagnosed well over 15yrs ago. I'm 40 but never, ever treated.

Have you tried any medication like metformim?

Be careful. You could become diabetic if you are not taking metformin and trying to control your weight. I've met several people who'd become diabetic when not treating their PCOS.

Is there any reason you haven't treated it?
