glucophage and polycystic ovaries

I'm just curious if Type 1 and polycystic ovaries come hand in hand. from what I've read, polycystic ovarian syndrome can cause type 2 if left untreated. I'm a little confused, I'm getting checked for POS, but I was diagnosed with type 1 over a year ago (when I was 23). Could there be anything other than POS?

u might have polycystic ovaries thats y u have a hairy face. consult ur doc and take glucophage .

The diagnosis is made from examination to see the extent of excess hair growth, an ultrasound of the ovaries, and blood tests to look at various hormones including testosterone. If you are overweight, which is pretty common with this condition, then weight loss (does not need to be much, often just 5%-10% does the trick) often helps normalize periods. If weight loss does not work, or you are unable to lose weight, or are not overweight, then you will probably need medication.

and i forgot to add, metformin,from what im aware of, helps in regulating/reducing insulin levels and boosts ovarian function. but how blood sugars and ovaries are related im not too sure... maybe this might help...http://women.webmd.

I know that I have polycystic ovaries and have been on various medication. I came off Depo Provera injections about 2 years ago and was regular up until the day before my wedding (16/10/2009) as I was about to become sexually active for the first time also. The doctor prescribed a pill I'd been on when I was in my teens, although I made mention that these made me sick, at which she told me to hide it in my food! I tried them, but was severely sick, so I came off them.

It is diffucult to get rid polycystic ovaries. The small cysts are where your eggs are and so we do not want to get rid of the eggs but we do want the syndrome to go away and your ovaries to look and become more normal. You need to have a complete assessment of your hormones including FSH, LH, Estradiol, Prolactin, TSH, DHEAS, Testostoerone, 17OH-progesterone, fasting insulin, a 2 hour GTT with a 75 gram glucose challenge, lipid panel, kidney functions and liver functions.

She then decided that I must be insulin resistant and put me on Glucophage 1 in the evening without even doing any tests or telling me anything about an eating plan etc. I am now following a low GI eating plan I got on the internet.

They treat it with diabetic drugs like glucophage or metphormin. In some cases they will do surgery to unblock your ovaries. There are quite a few women who probably have it on this site, if you want to ask anymore questions. I hope I helped but didn't scare you, and if I did I do appologize.
