what is pcos and what can you do to help it

[Johanna475]

Pcos is an abnormal hormonal imbalance (to much of the male hormone)

I have had it for many years, and i always was stuck at a certain weight, for years and years i tried to shift the weight only to pile it back on again.

But for a year now, i have been on a healthy diet and i do exersise every now and then.
I am down to a weight that i can control, and feel much healthier, apart from a dizzy spell here and there..

There are some good books on pcos, by collete harris, You can buy her books and the net, either at amazon or play.com.
I would recomend them, because they have helped me a great deal

             If you are overweight even moderate weight loss and exercise will improve the symptoms of PCOS . because weigth gain makes the hormonal imbalance worse. although i hate medicines and their side effects metformin may help with weight loss aswell .

Hormonal imbalance. Most docs prescribe metformin bc ppl with PCOS are said to be insulin restistant. Metformin is a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes. Most chances if you have PCOS you are not ovulating, your producing eggs but they are not being ovulated so they form a string around your ovaries that look like cycts. You can look up metformin and infertility to find out more.
