It is not curable. But it can be treated.Women with this syndrome get fat. Not all who get fat have this though. IT has to be diagnosed correctly.An ultrasound can help u detect the cyst.Excessiv growth of hair on the body and the face is another feature.
The troubles that come through are miscarriages, trouble during delivery, trouble in conceiving a child and menstrual troubles.
Quoting from=http://www.ivillage.co.uk/preg nancyandbaby/fertility/infertility/ articles/0,,5_182768-3,00.html,
"G onadotropin therapy (FSH hormone injection) is indicated for women with PCOS who have been treated with anti-oestrogens and who fail to ovulate, show persistent hyper-secretion of luteinising hormone (LH) or have a negative post-coital test. LH is released from the pituitary gland, which causes the egg to pop out of the follicle. Women with PCOS have relatively high levels of LH and this may be related to their higher rate of miscarriage.
A post-coital test is carried out to see how well a woman's partner's sperm survives in her cervical mucus. She has to come to the clinic shortly after intercourse, and a sample of cervical mucus is examined under the microscope to check for the presence or absence of active sperm. It is unreliable and embarrassing and rapidly falling out of favour.
Gonadotropin treatment involves the woman taking a daily injection of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone-75-150 international units) and having regular ultrasound scans to monitor the development of the follicles (the little egg-containing sacs on the ovary). "
