I'm 31 years old and have zero sex drive. I'm in a very loving and supportive relationship, but I have no desire for sex. My husband has been very patient, but I feel like we are missing a huge part if our marriage. I have PCOS so I know I have hormonal issues. Does anyone know anything that could help. I have asked my doctor, but he doesn't seem to see a PCOS connection, and hasn't really done anything to address my issue. I really need help. I don't want to make my husband suffer or my marriage for that matter

First, find another doctor that will be willing to look deeper into the root of the problem. Here's some information you may find helpful and can discuss with a doctor that is willing to listen and do some homework.

INSULIN RESISTANCE IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF PCOS
Are you one of the millions of women with PCOS who have failed to reverse the symptoms of this condition no matter what you’ve tried? It may not be due to lack of willpower. Instead, you could be Insulin Resistant, the root cause of PCOS.

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health, Stanford University and other research centers have clearly identified the existence and effects of Insulin Resistance, a biochemical condition that causes excessive weight gain and PCOS, which is also known as polycystic ovaries. If you are among the 65% of the overweight population with Insulin Resistance, your ability to reverse your PCOS and lose weight may not have been within your control – until now.

This breakthrough in understanding the body's biochemistry remains relatively unknown, even though Insulin Resistance has reached epidemic proportions. Your doctor may not have explained the crucial link between Insulin Resistance, weight gain and PCOS. You need to understand this link in order to reverse your condition.

First, Insulin Resistance vastly reduces the number of insulin receptor sites or doorways on the walls of your cells. The average healthy person has some 20,000 receptor sites per cell, while the average overweight individual with PCOS can have as few as 5,000. If you have too few receptor sites, glucose bounces off the cell wall, instead of passing through the insulin door to be burned as energy. With the cell door almost closed to it, glucose remains in the blood stream, causing elevated levels of blood sugar, which are sent to the liver. Once there, the sugar is converted into fat and stored via the blood stream throughout the body. This process can lead to weight gain and obesity, key factors in creating PCOS, which is also referred to as Polycystic Ovarian Disease or PCOD.

The second way that Insulin Resistance causes PCOS is by raising insulin levels in the blood stream. Unhealthy lifestyles and genetic conditions cause the pancreas to overproduce insulin. The cell is, in turn, overwhelmed by this excess insulin and protects itself by reducing the number of its insulin receptor sites. This process leaves too few sites for insulin to carry out its normal function, which is to attach itself to the cell wall and act as a key in a lock allowing glucose to pass through the cell wall and be converted into energy. The vastly-reduced number of receptor sites in Insulin Resistant people causes an excess of insulin “rejected” by the cell to free-float in the blood stream, creating unbalanced hormone levels in PCOS sufferers.

Excess insulin stimulates the ovaries to produce large amounts of the male hormone testosterone, which may prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg each month, thus causing infertility. High levels of insulin also increase the conversion of androgens (male hormones) to estrogens (female hormones), upsetting a delicate balance between the two and having a direct effect on weight gain and the formation of cystic follicles or ovarian cysts.

Have you been treated for your PCOS?
The usual treatment for it is to go on the Pill. The Pill increases sex drive in women who have PCOS.

I would find a new doctor and get a second opinion. I know that the doctor usually puts the patient on Metformin to keep blood sugars from getting high. I would do more research on what you can do about your sex drive but definitely see another doctor. Good luck.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.
