You obviously need a clear diagnosis, as you seem to be confused. PCOS is presumed by many to be a genetic disorder, it’s not something you get rid of.

If you are having financal difficulty, please explain that to your doctor and state that you would like to keep costs to a minimum.

Good Luck.

Also, every month women get cysts as part of their cycle, some jsut go away I believe with no pain while others pop and cause alot of pain. I dont know exactly what PCOS is, so sorry I cant be more help with that.

According to everyone (I have a friend who doesnt trust them so I got other people’s opinions and yeah), Planned Parenthood is safe, and if you dont have insurance maybe go through them to get the pill.

In Non-classic adrenal hyperplasia the high testosterone levels are coming from the adrenal glands and not the ovaries. In the story on Discovery Health’s program Mystery Diagnosis the woman did the Glucophage (because they thought she had insulin resistance) for several months and then when she went to another doctor who ran some more bloodwork they found that the testosterone levels that were high were not coming from her ovaries.

After they found that she had this condition they gave her a different kind of medication which then took care of the problem.

As for the prolactin level, I’m not sure what mine is showing yet and hope to find out soon because I found out from some recent bloodwork that my pituitary gland may not be working as well as it should and it may have to do with the PCOS.

Something I read on Everydayhealth.com about PCOS said that sometimes pituitary gland involvement can have something to do with PCOS and I hope to research this a bit further to see how this may apply to my situation.

As for the cysts issue, when I first had an ultrasound done the cysts showed up but because of the medication (I think) the cysts did not show up. I found out later that not all women with PCOS have the cysts as well as that some women with PCOS also don’t have the problems with trying to lose weight, that some can be skinny and still have PCOS.

Drugs, creams and typical acne treatments sometimes work in a partial way but the results are temporary and the side effects are nasty. The tiny handful acne sufferers who have learned how to clear their acne from within and without ever using drugs or over the counters are the only people in the world who keep their skin clear permanently.

I started having serious skin problems as a teenager in high school. I tried the different treatments available on the market, like the skin care creams, lotions, and cleansers. Nothing really gave me the results I was looking for. In fact, I found out years later that the same over-the-counter products I had spent money on and tried had assisted in worsening my acne condition. I mean I was only a teenager and I did not know what I was doing. I had just seen the commercials on TV and went to the local Wal-Mart or Target to buy what they were selling. The other side of it was my friends and family kept giving me advice on what products to try that they thought worked the best. Over the years and after much trial and error, I found out there are some things you could do immediately that gave excellent results. This is when I figured out the first real basic secret to having clear skin.
