 [ Symptoms ] i have asthma and was recently diagnosed can cold weather and walking in it trigger asthma it happened to me [ Disease ] this is a very common problem in women and when you have a diagnosis it is a relief in some ways because now we can direct treatment for it so what i like the most for polycystic ovary syndrome is all contraceptives and sometimes combined with a diuretic called aldactone and the generic name is spironolactone i find that these two together not only help balance out the hormones but also help regrow the hair oftentimes in polycystic ovary syndrome we see a triad of changes we see irregular periods along with often severe acne and hair loss on the scalp and there is also another component which may be increased hair growth on the upper lip or chin as well sometimes people have regular periods and so the diagnosis is missed because the endocrinologist or ob thinks that it can not be polycystic ovary syndrome because it can not measure the hormone imbalance but when you have those other effects of hair loss on the scalp acne hair growth on the face and sometimes with or without weight change going on oral contraceptives can help and adding aldactone or spironolactone can help as well it is very important to treat it because women who have this syndrome are at increased risk of diabetes and also heart disease later in life so it is not just an esthetic or how you look that matters it is your overall health that can be affected so you should definitely have it treated
