How can i overcome polycystic ovaries syndrome? Although there's no cure for PCOS, there are several ways that the condition can be treated and managed. If you are overweight or obese, your doctor will recommend losing weight.Weight loss can be very effective in lessening many of the health conditions associated with PCOS, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Sometimes weight loss alone can restore hormone levels to normal, causing many of the symptoms to disappear or become less severe. Your doctor or a registered dietitian can look at your food intake and your exercise and activity to tailor a weight-loss program for you. Exercise is a great way to help combat the weight gain that often accompanies PCOS as well as a way to reduce bloating. Sometimes doctors prescribe medications to treat PCOS. A doctor might first have you try birth control pills to help reduce the androgen levels in your body and regulate your menstrual cycle. Birth control pills may help control acne and excessive hair growth in some, but they don't work for everyone. Other medications used to treat PCOS include antiandrogens, which counter the effects of excess androgens in the body. Antiandrogens can help clear up skin and hair growth problems. Another medication, metformin, which is used to treat diabetes, can lower insulin levels. In some, it can help control ovulation and androgen levels. This can make your menstrual cycles more regular. Some treated with metformin have also experienced weight loss and lowering of high blood pressure.
