hi,

I have been diagnosed having PCOS for the last 2 years.I used to have a lot of acne and pimples and a lot of hair in my legs.I visited a number of doctors and most of them said I had nothing to worry about as I only had hair on my legs and according to them little acne n pimples is nothing and when I get marriaged ever everything will be all right. But my sister and me were not convinced and so we went to a endocrinologist.He prescribed us to take androcur n diane .I started to take the medicine and after sometime the pimples in my face reduced and it started to look nice.I had to take liver function and kidney function test every six months to see if my liver and kindey were functioning normally as these medicines had side effects and they could have effected my liver and kidney.But while taking these medicines I noticed that I had increased burping,bloating sensation after eating food,lethargy etc.I also used to feel sleepy always.So I started to suspect if my liver was getting affected and decided to go in for ayurvedic treatment and discontinue these medicines.When I took my liver function test again my bilirubin levels were slightly high compared to the normal.The doctor said it was because of androcur and nothing to worry about.

I got very very scared and stopped taking androcur and diane.Now my burping and all has stopped but i am worried about the hair on the legs as it looks like a mans leg with so much hair.My acne and pimples to seem to be coming back.I am getting boils on my head too.I am on ayurvedic medicine but I dont know if it will work.

I am really confused and worried what to do.......Can Pcos be cured permanently or I have to take medicine life long?

welcome to sc i have the hair issues, too. I take spiro for it. Ive been on it years, and it has helped. My endo said that it takes 9-12 months to get to maximum result.
