Treatment

Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are treated at our UCSF Multidisciplinary PCOS Clinic. Our team of experts will work with you to develop a treatment plan that best meets your needs.

Currently, there is no cure for PCOS. However, the condition can be managed by treating symptoms with medications and by adapting a healthy, well-balanced lifestyle through weight loss, exercise and diet modifications. In some cases, a surgical procedure called ovarian drilling may be recommended to induce ovulation.
