First-Line Treatments for PCOS
Lifestyle Modifications:
- Dietary Changes: Focus on whole foods, lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to manage weight and improve insulin sensitivity.
- Regular Exercise: Engage in aerobic exercise and strength training to manage weight and reduce PCOS symptoms.
- Weight Management: Maintain a healthy weight or aim for weight loss if overweight to improve hormonal balance and overall health.
- Stress Management: Practice mindfulness, meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to alleviate symptoms and enhance well-being.
Hormonal Contraception:
- Combined Oral Contraceptives (COCs): Prescribed to regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen levels, and alleviate symptoms like acne and hirsutism.
- Progestin-Only Contraceptives: Recommended for those unable to take estrogen-containing contraceptives, helping regulate menstrual cycles and reduce symptoms.
These initial treatments effectively manage common PCOS symptoms such as irregular periods, acne, and hirsutism. However, individual preferences, medical history, and specific symptoms may influence the treatment approach. Consultation with a healthcare provider is crucial for determining the most appropriate treatment plan.
