PCOS Counselling and Treatment

Counseling and treatment for PCOS focuses on managing symptoms and improving overall health. Counseling provides information about the condition, its symptoms, and lifestyle changes that may be helpful, such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight control to regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce insulin resistance. Treatment options may include hormone therapies such as birth control pills to control irregular periods and acne, and medications such as metformin to improve insulin sensitivity. In addition, fertility treatments may be discussed for those wishing to become pregnant. Psychological support is also essential as women with PCOS may experience emotional difficulties related to the condition, highlighting the importance of a holistic approach to care.
