Treatment of PCOS
What does treating PCOS look like? When talking about the elusive 'treatment' or 'cure' or 'fix' for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and other female hormonal imbalances, there are no real steady answers in the medical field as to what would improve this. Different doctors will tell you different management symptoms. Some will put you on birth control and metformin if your periods are severely irregular and your body is showing signs of insulin resistance.

Herbs, supplements, and vitamins are also suggested.
