Unless...PCOS is a very vague condition to diagnose. Unless you are scanned when you have a cyst, or have any serious complications from a cyst such as torsion, then a diagnosis is just a guess. <br />Doctors don't rountinely scan for PCOS these days. There is no treatment or cure for the condition although doctors will treat the symptoms such as heavy periods, pain mid cycle and during menstruation, bad skin and excess body hair. These symptoms are treated most effectively with the pill, brands such as Yasmin and Dianette are the most common but neither are designed for long term use. <br />In addition, although its not something you may wish to hear, your weight is probably a contributing factor. If a doctor suspects that you have PCOS, then one of their first recommendations would be to lose weight as this eases the symptoms. <br />Additionally, women with PCOS still ovulate and conceive normally most of the time. Having a cyst does not stop ovulation and will not affect a developing foetus in any way. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
