I have suddenly developed very irregular mentrual cycle and the doc says it is polycystic ovaries and if not treated can go on to become ovarian cancer! And the only way to regulate cycle is to go for birth control pills which dont suit me very well. Has anyone tried any other remedy? And if at all i am forced to end up taking birth control pills, which is the one with the least side effects like weight gain and acne. Both of which i dont want! I am pretty happy with my clear skin and fit body!
What is the best treatment for Polycystic Ovaries?I have POS too. I've done some research and found that a lot of doctors are giving wrong information about it because they've only known about this syndrome for 7 years. My first doctor told me similar fears and put me on this crazy birth control that threw my hormones out of whack and made me very moody. I then saw a specialist and she said that birth control will help if you have a low even dose of hormones throughout the month. I stopped birth control because we're trying to get pregnant now.
My mother-in-law was falsely told she had ovarian cancer (she also has POS) I'm just hoping that doctors are researching the syndrome and getting a better treatment for it. I don't advise surgery. I've heard of doctor's wanting to do surgery but it's not helpful and sometimes risky.
You might also want to get a second opinion, I'm really glad I did.
