If you are overweight, you should make every effort to lose weight. In addition to calorie control, regular exercise is to be encouraged. Weight reduction improves the hormone balance, the chances of pregnancy when required and also the chance of a successful pregnancy outcome.
Traditionally, treatment has depended on your presenting problems. If your main concern is infrequent periods and you do not wish to conceive, cyclical hormone treatment such as the combined oral contraceptive pill, cyclical progestogen, or hormone replacement therapy may be indicated. If there are associated skin problems then again the pill (perhaps with cyproterone) may be prescribed.
If you want to start a family, treatment is directed towards encouraging
your ovaries to release their eggs (ova) regularly (ovulation induction
PCOS infertility treatment;ovulation induction).
