THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FROM A DOCTOR. I was diagnosed with PCOS 12 years ago, and guess what, getting pregnant has never been a concern of mine that entire time! I still don't want to and it's just not something that is part of my life. However, I still need to focus on managing PCOS because it affects my health! If a doctor tells you you don't need to worry about PCOS unless you are trying to get pregnant, FIND A NEW DOCTOR! Not all doctors are good, especially when it comes to this disorder because we still don't even know what causes it, let alone how to treat it. If a doctor says that to you, it indicates they do not understand the disorder and they are not going to put effort into it. That is their choice, and doctors have a lot going on too, but that means they are not right for you. Women with PCOS are 60% more likely to have a mental disorder (like depression or anxiety), they have elevated cortisol levels, insulin resistance, inflammation, and not to mention any variety of physical symptoms. Therefore, there is still much for a doctor to help you with even if pregnancy is of no concern to you. I absolutely understand the struggle of finding a good doctor and it can take awhile but it is definitely worth the search. Keep trying new doctors and do your research beforehand so you can confidently and intelligently discuss PCOS with them. Doctors are just like boyfriends, if they aren't genuinely listening to you, valuing your input, and supporting you, realize they are no good for you and dump them and find someone who will!

same thing here... I have problems with being overweight and not being able to get it off, depression, and I also think it might also be playing a part with my migraines... But, my Dr doesn't want to do anything unless I am trying to get pregnant...

My doctors told me this when I went because of a flare up with pcos I’d managed to lose 4 stone but then a year in my weight started creeping back on even tho I was exercising the same n eating the same all she said was eat less n exercise more !!! n she’d only help if I wanted to get pregnant I told her it’s alright but nobody as told me anything about this condition in the 20 years I’ve been diagnosed but all she said was come back when you want to become pregnant ☹️

That pisses me off my old doc was the same.....whyshould you worried unless you wont to get pregnant 😣😣😣😣😣
