I'm an unmarried woman dealing with polycystic ovary syndrome and it's really starting to affect my daily life. What are some effective ways to treat the symptoms?
Poly cystic ovaries syndrome in unmarried women can be treated effectively with a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. To manage the symptoms of PCOS, it is important to focus on maintaining a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet. Additionally, hormonal contraceptives such as Yaz or Yasmin can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce symptoms like acne and hirsutism. Metformin, a medication commonly used to treat diabetes, can also be prescribed to help with insulin resistance often associated with PCOS. In some cases, spironolactone may be recommended to manage symptoms like acne and excess hair growth. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your individual needs.

I'm a 19-year-old female, and I'm currently 4 feet 8 inches tall. I've been wondering if there's still a chance for me to grow taller, especially since my parents aren't very tall either. I'm really hoping to reach around 5 feet 2 inches. Is it possible for me to increase my height at this age? I've tried drinking ashwagandha powder mixed with milk for 15 days, hoping it might help, but I haven't noticed any changes. What should I do and is there anything else that might work? I'm really curious and would appreciate any advice you can offer.
