“I feel like nobody is treating my problem. They just keep putting a Band-Aid on it.” If you have PCOS, you may have said this yourself.
In this episode, Dr. Mark Amols takes the complaint seriously and explains what birth control, metformin, letrozole, and lifestyle changes actually do. He covers why symptoms can return when you stop treatment, and what the history of ovarian surgery tells us about treating PCOS without curing it. He also says plainly when a prescription is incomplete care.
You’ll also get three questions to bring to your next appointment so you leave with a plan you understand.
In this episode:
Treating vs. curing, and why the difference matters
What each PCOS treatment is actually meant to accomplish
Ovarian drilling and what it teaches us
What lifestyle treatment should look like beyond “just lose weight”
What comprehensive PCOS care includes
Three questions to ask your doctor
