Dear Swetha,i am sorry I don't want to be harsh or rude, but one must accept the fact and truth of life.PCOS has got no cure at present. Yet there are many positives for you,your weight is well controlled,your menses is regular.your treating physician has prescribed you medicines,please continue and remain in contact with him/her. A few life style changes,I am sure you must be aware of,may be helpful.please do not let your weight creep up,even a little reduction in wt.has great beneficial effect.Like wise a little enhanced physical activity is surely to help you in more than one way. Of course unwanted hairs are a cause of concern at least from cosmetic point of view, but please do not let it hinder your normal life,and go for more outings and enjoy life without thinking about your affliction or your appearance . All the best wishes.

Hi Swetha,

Pcos can be managed well with diet changes. I was watching (Food Hospital on an English Channel) a few years back and this girl was weighing 100 kg and very irregular periods and a lot of facial hair. The Food Doctors put her on a special diet for 3 months and she lost a dramatic amount of weight, her periods became regular and facial hair growth went down noticeably. She used to eat a lot of fast foods like chips, crisps, chocolates and pizzas. She started eating healthy calorie breakfast with lots of raw foods. Having a main meal in the morning with very light dinner. She completely cut down on sugar, (complex and simple) as even naturally sweet foods contribute towards it. Started exercising. Took vitamin D, Calcium and Magnesium supplements. And upped the Omega 3s. Stopped eating any cooked foods that has been high heated like frying, grilled, searing.

Consult your dietician before embarking on this diet though.

Hope this helps.

Switch to a healthy diet -- LOW CARB HIGH FAT.

HIGH CARB LOW FAT "FAD" will only make your PCOS worse with passage of time.

sure thank u, actually im drinking milk every day @ night from past 3 years, can i continue the same, if i stop drinking milk, im losing weight very badly and getting backache and joint bones pains

[swetha123]

thank u soo much, can i use maca root ??

[preetih in reply to swetha123]

Hi Swetha,

Have a read on MACA root first as many people have complained of a lot of weight gain with MACA supplements. And worrying about hair loss and hirsutism will only contribute towards your already existing problem, so learn to look at the positive side of everything And as I said you need Vitamin D, you'll only get the natural form from the sun so you need to go out. And resigning from your job is absolutely not helping. Now you have a lot of ample time to wallow over your problem whereas before you'd be busy at work so don't worry about it. Hope this helps..

in my family nobody has pcos, even i dint get any crams or any other symptoms, but recently past 5 months im facing too much problems, when i started medication im facing it, is there any way to get rid from unwanted hair, im feeling very cry with this un wanted hair & horrible hair loss.... Kindly suggest me im crying daily, i resigned my job also

[patliputra in reply to swetha123]

I am sorry,you should not have resigned. Any way, restart your life and try to get yourself engaged in a suitable job.

BTW a few very sensible suggestions have come your way ,think about them seriously. Please remember life style changes will bring a sea of beneficial changes . Here I am repeating what has already been said,stop eating sugar and sugary products, packaged food of all sorts are an emphatic NO. Go for healthy and nutritional diet and do not let your weight creep up. Again I repeat go for outings and I am sure things will change ,sooner than later, please ,please do not cry and get into depression. Nothing is lost,it is your WILL and DETERMINATION that will make a lot of difference. A new world is waiting for you with open arms.

Good luck.

@Swetha --

3fatchicks.com/forum/pcos-i...

Many of them there will discuss diets as a solution like I did in my first post, like here -- where it talks of extreme end of LCHF diet -- Ketogenic diet (though some self professed experts here aren't even aware of what nutritional ketosis is):

3fatchicks.com/forum/pcos-i...

Like we diabetics on LCHF love VCO, there's a talk of virgin coconut oil (VCO a MCT) also. Get your insulin resistance don and you will feel happy that you did. Diet is the only way because drugs will fail long-time. You have to decide to change your diet. Mayo and others will never let you handle insulin resistance. So called healthy and balanced diet is no good for diabetics and PCOS.

I got some clue that only Homeopathy can treat it better.Lifestyle and Prevention

One of the best treatments for PCOS is a healthy lifestyle. A healthy diet low in refined carbohydrates is important, as this can help regulate blood sugar levels. Exercise can also help the body regulate insulin and keep excess weight off. Losing weight is challenging with PCOS, but doing so can help reduce the male hormone levels in the body, and some women will begin to ovulate naturally. With a proper diagnosis, lifestyle changes and PCOS treatment, women can get relief from this condition and the overwhelming health problems it can cause.

Polycystic ovary syndrome treatment starts with a proper diagnosis. Treatments are then chosen based on a woman's symptoms, age and future pregnancy plans. Treatment for PCOS may include:

Birth control pills to regulate menstruation

Insulin-sensitizing medications

Ovulation induction to treat infertility

Androgen-blocking medications

Topical anti-hair-growth medications

Other excess hair treatments

Treatments for hair loss

Acne treatments

Removal of other skin problems

But sorry I am not doctor. Argue with any good Homeopathy Doc.
