polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) is a very complicated disorder in that it can cause many different problems. one of the things that we worry about the most is insulin resistance (similar to diabetes) which needs to be treated. another is not having a regular menstrual cycle which can lead to abnormal cells developing inside the uterus. other problems include acne high cholesterol heavy hair growth in abnormal areas and infertility. sometimes pcos will resolve with time or with weight loss but for some it is lifelong. typically it is treated with oral contraceptives to regulate your hormones and periods and/or metformin to help with the insulin resistance. it is very important for you to follow-up with your gynecologist for treatment and monitoring.
