Other newer insulin-sensitising medicines include pioglitazone. This is not currently recommended for PCOS. For certain people with PCOS, a specialist may advise that metformin be taken. However, further research is needed to confirm the role of these medicines in the treatment of PCOS.
Now when we consulted the doctor he said, effects of Pioglitazone is still there in her body thats the reason why she is still getting that and nothing to worry.
But we feels that, there is something else. Could it be for Pioglitazone or can there be another reason for this ?
However, the difference in the rate of NASH improvement with pioglitazone compared with placebo did not reach the prespecified 0.025 level of significance (34% vs. 19%; P = .04; number needed to treat, 6.9).
Sensitivity Analyses
Because of the subjectivity of histologic analysis, the study team performed several sensitivity analyses.
“This confirms a long-term benefit for pioglitazone and gives an alternative option” in the form of vitamin E, says Kenneth Cusi, an endocrinologist at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
Pioglitazone improves insulin signaling, which helps people with diabetes metabolize sugar. But the drug’s effects may also extend to diminishing the amount of fat in the liver, Cusi says.
Rosiglitazone (Avandia)
Pioglitazone (Actos)
of the two drugs avandia has been found active in another study on hbsag and hbvdna with high potency, so since avandi is active on hbv and suggested as liver cancer prevention and cure it would be good to use it
in october when i will see my doctor/researcher i will talk about this and possible combo with etv.
Edeam from abdomen down. Pitted edema in both legs, so severe at night I have trouble walking, does go down over night but still swelled when I wake up. Has been happening for over 3 months. Echo came back normal, and all the lab work, CT scans, ultrasounds have come back normal. I have been a diabetic for 29 years and do have peripheral neuropathy in both legs from the knees down, but that has not gotten any worse before this all started.
Eat a balanced and healthy diet and increase your physical activity. In addition to limiting calories, avoid diets rich in refined, rapidly digested carbohydrates. This includes limiting foods such as white bread, white rice, and concentrated sugar.
Avoiding unnecessary medications can also help slow or reverse the disease. Clinical trials are also looking at the effectiveness of certain antioxidants and newer diabetes medications in treating fatty liver disease.

Cyst just means fluid with a skin over ti - think of a blister. In PCOS, the cysts are ovarian follicles. that means , around each egg cell there is a circle of cells called follicular cells that produce hormones. Those cells help mature the egg. Every month one egg is selected to mature and to ovulate - that is to pop out of the ovary. In PCOS, ovulation rarely occurs but multiple egg cells with follicle cysts around them develop.
You are so young Joy and you will have another child soon. Don`t worry about PCOS. Today medicine have solution for more severe conditions than PCOS. Maybe they will prescribe you Clomid but there is solution. And the most important is to have faith in God. And I like the name very much. If it is a boy, which name you choosed?
Some background info first: I was diagnosed with PCOS 3 years ago and ever since I got into university last year it seemed to have got worse. I have been prescribed Provera to have periods. I have a family history of PCOS and my mother has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
For my last period, again I had to take Provera to make it happen.
Hey, I am on my 3rd period in 4 weeks...The 1st two were normal but the latest one is like a dark brown. I do suffer with PCOS is this just a syptom of this, or cud if be something else? and advice wud b nice.
Lots of ovarian cysts come and go - but the dermoid cyst is not really in the same class of a PCOS cyst - it could be an undeveloped twin. As for having children in the future, you should still have the other ovary and once you feel better and get your health and your cycle back, all should be well.
I had PCOS and Cushing's disease - many cysts and endometriosis etc. I have no idea what you can take that is OTC or natural - there are some bio-identical hormones though.
Well, meant lucky in the sense you aren't having to deal with a weight issue, an infertility issue, plus all the other issues that go with PCOS. The weight with PCOS usually doesn't budge easily. Well, in any case, this condition is nothing pleasant to deal with.
