Any treatment modalities for polycystic ovary syndrome?!


Question:

Any treatment modalities for polycystic ovary syndrome?

My daughter who has juvenile diabetes has been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. Regular medicine helps control symtoms but doesn't seem to be really effective at treating the "whole" person. Any ideas on what kinds of alternative medical modalities there might be for this? Any help or ideas at all are welcome.


Answers:

I have PCOS. I have gone to Standford for a study. Dr Cataldo is the doctor. Go to pcosa.org

There really isn't anything yet to treat the whole person. I have taken Rx for diabetes along with Aldactone. I had taken the BC pill also, I hated that! I won't take it anymore.

I WILL tell you that I notice a HUGE difference in the symptoms when I eat a lower carb diet. The hair growth is less. But like the combo I mentioned above, that got rid of most of it also.

They also say that a symptom of this is infertility. I have three kids. My daughter does not have it although it passes from mother to daughter from what I understand.

There are just so many ways that women show this. From balding to acne to the extra hair growth. My mom only had missed periods. My sister never missed a period but had issues with her pregnancies. I would have maybe 3 periods a year no issues with pregnancies, but the hair growth - ICK! No acne - even in teen years.

PCOSA was formed by a group of women about 10 or so years ago that have this. Wonderful group! Total grass roots group to figure this out.
