How to treat it?
Weight gain and obesity are common in people with PCOS. Losing weight can help to treat hormonal changes and health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. In other words, diet and exercises will be a key factor in this process.
There is also a chirurgical procedure in which a laparoscopic fulguration of endometriosis is performed to generate a better ovarian response to stimulation, and improve the possibilities to get pregnant.
