So to double check my doctor's treatment plan, I asked a midwife that I trust about my condition. She basically said the same thing. Weight loss is an appropriate treatment. PCOS is a cluster of endocrine issues or issues with hormones that can lead to an increased risk of heart disease and insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes). With proper diet & exercise as well as weight loss, my risk of developing insulin resistance is lowered along with my risk of heart disease. Whew! It is good news that I can do something about it.
Now I just need to get someone to retest my hormone levels and I will feel fairly satisfied with the answers that I've been getting.
Its really wonderful. I want to say that diagnosis of PCOS is largely based on the symptoms, eg menstrual irregularities, acne, excessive facial/unwanted hair, weight gain, difficulty to lose weight or even frequent 1st trimester abortions.
