. Here are some ways women with PCOS can manage irregular periods:
- Lifestyle changes: Maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and reducing stress can help regulate hormones and improve menstrual cycles.
- Birth control pills: Birth control pills can help regulate hormones and reduce the frequency and severity of irregular periods.
- Progestin therapy: Progestin therapy can help induce regular bleeding and reduce the risk of endometrial hyperplasia, a condition that can lead to uterine cancer.
- Anti-androgen medications: These medications can help reduce androgen levels, which can improve menstrual regularity.
- Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be recommended to treat PCOS and improve menstrual function.
If you’re experiencing irregular periods, it’s important to see your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms and determine the best treatment approach for you.
