how cani i cure my pcos disease my self? if i dont have the money to see a doctor?

Answer 1

There is no cure for PCOS, I have it. But you CAN manage it on your own without medication, but it is very hard. If you are trying to get pregnant you may need to see a doctor though. First, you need to start eating like a diabetic, watch sugar intake, lots of proteins whole grains and lots of water. You also have to exercise-A LOT! At least 5-6 times a week for at least 60 min. People with pcos usually are insulin resistant like me and this diet regulates the sugars/insulin in your body which helps you lose weight and balance out hormones. While the best thing is to see your DR. this will help you improve or at least maintain your current status until you can see a doctor. By the way, women with Pcos usually have crazy high cholesterol levels too. My doctor told me that was one of the symptoms she looked for.

Something that I just found out is that alot of physicians just conclude that if you have certain female issues (no period, excessive hair growth, spotting, weight gain, infertility,ect.) that it is PCOS. I went to my normal family physician and that is what I was told. I started to do more research on the condition and found out it might not be pcos. I went to a gynecologist and spoke with him. On my initial visit, he said that what it sounded like was pcos, did a pap and took blood. I was put on Provera, which you have to take for 10 days, and then you have a period. So, 3 weeks after my initial visit I went in for an internal ultrasound and the reading of my blood work. Suprisingly, everything was healthy and normal. No Cysts or anything;however, my cholesterol level was through the roof. My gynocologist concluded that I don't have PCOS that most of these problems (lack of period, hair growth, and mood swings) were caused by my weight and cholesterol levels. He put me on a low cholesterol diet, I have lost weight (not alot, but still some), hair growth has slowed and in time I should be able to have normal periods w/out having to take drugs. I still have 70lbs to go, so we will see. I hope this helps. I just wanted to let you know that I went 5 years thinking that what I had was PCOS and it wasn't. I know that it costly but if you might get your blood work done just to rule out all possibilities except for PCOS. :-)

I have never heard of this disease. After looking it up this is what I found "polycystic ovarian syndrome ". Is this what you are referring to? I did some research, and not only is it not cureable, but it seems as though you can't even control it on your own. You must seek help from a doctor. There should be a planned parenthood around you, they are everywhere. Also, you could go to your county hospital, they have clinics.
