I am 20 year female. I am having pcos since last 4 years. I left it undiagnosed for many years. Then symptoms started to appear. I received period after 13 months and that too after prior taking of medicine for 2 months. I am having obesity. Severe hirsutism. Exceptionally swollen face and abdominal fat. My thyroid is proper functioning. No problem with the adrenal gland. Testosterone level high, 1.21 mg/dl. Prolactin level is normal. I'm taking Metformin (1000 mg/day) for past 5 months, so now receiving normal period. I want to solve two major issues: hirsutism and intense brain fog. I am being overly forgetful. My working memory has diminished to hell. I am a medico and now its getting very difficult to recall anything.

Hi..as you are having high testosterone levels, hirsutism is expected..Metformin not going to work at all for you unless you have deranged sugar levels and insulin level...you will have to take oral contraceptive pills having cypoteron which will control your testosterone and hirsutism...it will take care of your menstrual irregularities...on addition you will need lifestyle modification like maintaining BMI and avoiding stress, fast food and adequate exercise, etc..All the best for your medical career
