Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Question: I have been recently diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I was
taking Sprionolactone for treatment, but it caused me to have periods/spotting every two
weeks. My endocrinologist has suggested two options for me. Using the pill in conjunction
with the Sprionolactone, or a Cortisone treatment. Which one is better? Is it safe to use
steroids to treat this condition? Please advise me.
Answer: Stick with the pill/spirolactore combo first. Also, work aggressively on
losing weight. Weight is one of the contributors to the problem.
