My Partner Has PCOS - What Should I Do?
It's hard having PCOS, so I can only imagine it's hard to be with someone with PCOS. I say this as a woman with (polycystic ovarian syndrome) PCOS and who also has a loving supportive partner that I am constantly apologizing to for my moods.

Different doctors will tell you different management symptoms. Some will put you on birth control and metformin if your periods are severely irregular and your body is showing signs of insulin resistance.

Herbs, supplements, and vitamins are also suggested.
