Hormonal Therapy for PCOS

Hormonal therapy for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) involves medications that help balance hormones in the body. PCOS can cause irregular periods, weight gain, and excessive hair growth due to hormonal imbalances. Doctors often prescribe birth control pills to regulate menstrual cycles and lower androgen levels, which can help with symptoms like acne and hair growth. Other treatments may include medications like metformin to improve insulin sensitivity. Hormonal therapy aims to manage symptoms and reduce long-term health risks associated with PCOS, such as diabetes and heart disease. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
