Wellness Tuesday: Treatment for PCOS
I’ve been sharing a little bit about PCOS {polycystic ovarian syndrome}. We’ve discussed the symptoms, causes and complications over the last few weeks.
Regular exercise helps maintain PCOS
So how do you deal with PCOS?
Well, first see a medical professional. The doctor will take your medical history, draw blood work and conduct a physical. You can then discuss any issues or concerns you may have about this issue. This is especially relevant if you long to have children {although some women do have children while battling PCOS}.
The physician will then offer suggestions, prescribe any medications needed and some may even order hormone treatments.
The best treatment method for PCOS is to change your lifestyle.
A balanced meal is also important
This includes:
- Regular exercise
- Healthy eating
- Weight control
- Stop smoking {if you smoke}
