Hi, I'm not sure if this has been addressed in another post (if so please feel free to direct me to it). I was recently diagnosed with PCOS. I have not had an ultrasound because my gynecologist said whether I had cysts or not would not influence the treatment. The only blood work I had done was a check of my hormone levels (testosterone was elevated) and a glucose tolerance test (my fasting glucose was normal but my glucose tolerance was impaired). My gynocologist has advised that all I should do at this point is take birth control pills and work on my diet and exercise. I am 5'7 and 160lbs so my BMI is 25.1. I think I will be able to bring the BMI down with exercise and diet. My gynocologist said he usually does not treat insulin resistance with Metformin because it is not well tollerated (my gynocologist was also quite suprised that I had the insulin restistance because of my weight). I have mild hirstutism and moderate acne and I am hoping that will subside now hat I am back on birth control (these symptoms emmerged when I went off the pill for a few months) I am not currently trying to conceive (probably won't be for ~10 years). I am wondering if it would be beneficial for me to see a PCOS specialist at this point? Are there other things I should be doing (I am planning to get my triglycerides and cholesterol checked)? Would it be beneficial for me to take Metformin eventhough I am not significantly overweight or trying to concieve? I really appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks!
