How is PCOS treated:

The most common tests are contraceptive pills, but there are other treatment methods to reduce symptoms, including:
Contraceptive pills: The main treatment for PCOS. These pills do not cure PCOS, but they alleviate many symptoms such as irregular periods, acne, and facial hair. They also reduce the risk of uterine cancer. Spironolactone is one of these drugs.
Progesterone: This hormone can induce regular periods if taken regularly. It also reduces the risk of uterine cancer. Most doctors use medroxyprogesterone or natural progesterone.
Metformin: This drug can increase the number of periods and regularize them. However, it is only effective in 50% of people. In people with diabetes, this drug helps lower blood sugar levels.
Topical medications or antibiotics to treat acne
Hair removal treatment with laser or electrolysis
