I was recently diagnosed with PCOS at 22 years old. It has really scared me but I've been told weight loss could help? I've been put on Metformine but I'm wondering if anyone knows of anything that could help/worked for them?
Thanks

Do you eat much sugar or drink alcohol? These tend to be the 2 most fattening things to consume if you have PCOS. Alcohol should not be consumed when taking metformin as it can damage your liver. Make sure you take the slow release metformin, as the regular one can really upset your stomach. Because you have a hormone imbalance it is best to keep active or you can slip into depression or anxiety very easily. Vitamin D and B12 are very important. If you start to get heartburn and indigestion try taking ranitidine and antacid chalk tablets like rennie.
