Someone posted below about metformin helping them. There is also the PCOS diet

''In this issue of the PCOS Health Review newsletter:

1) PCOS Women May Have Gene Instability 2) Keeping Ovaries May Boost Survival 3) Link Between Liver Disease and Low Vitamin D?

1) PCOS Women May Have Gene Instability

Chromosomes are components in a cell that contain genetic information that tell the cell what to do and what not to do.

A recent study has shown that women with PCOS have more chromosomal damage than other women. The researchers refer to this as "genetic instability".

What does this mean for you?

2) Keeping Ovaries May Boost Survival

300 000 US women per year have their ovaries surgically removed as part of a hysterectomy. The rationale for this is that you are reducing your future risk of developing ovarian cancer, or are getting rid of the major cause of your PCOS.

But are there any disadvantages to losing your ovaries?

Recent studies are showing that removal of the ovaries may lead to a higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease and hip fracture.

Removal may also result in a higher incidence of dementia and Parkinson's disease.

3) Link Between Liver Disease and Low Vitamin D?

In our last newsletter, we reported that an amazing one of every two women with PCOS may have fatty liver disease. We also said that if you have a sick liver, you cannot expect to be healthy.

Now we have come across some research that suggests a possible link between low vitamin D levels and fatty liver disease. The lower the vitamin D, the worse the disease.

The absence of optimal levels of vitamin D levels may contribute to fatty liver disease.

Therefore it makes sense to make sure you get enough vitamin D. This is one reason why a new nutritional supplement for PCOS has a higher than average amount of vitamin D in it.
