hi Joan,
Thanks for the information given, so do you say that my cyst is smaller
one only? When my testosterone and DHEA hormones are tested they are in
normal range but still I face lot of facial hair. I did hear that
birthcontrol pills give side effects, is it safe to go for other medication
for treating pcos. what do you say.
thanks once agian,
sujatha.
