In this final episode of my PCOS series, I walk you through your treatment options for managing symptoms, weight gain, and fertility.
PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) is a hormone and insulin‑resistance disorder that can cause irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth, scalp hair thinning, weight gain, and difficulty getting pregnant. Treatment always starts with one key question: Are you trying to conceive right now?
In this episode, I explain:
- Birth control options for symptom control
- Ovulation‑induction medications like clomiphene and letrozole
- When fertility specialists may step in
- The role of weight loss and insulin resistance
- Metformin vs. GLP‑1 medications (like semaglutide)
- Why PCOS fertility is often very treatable
If you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS or suspect you may have it, this episode will help you understand your next steps.
