Polycystic ovary syndrome can be treated by addressing the problem of insulin resistance. Anti-androgen medications are also prescribed to address the irregularities in menstruation. These anti-androgen medications also can decrease skin problems caused by PCOs such as acne. However, non-pharmacological intervention can also help such as regular exercise and diet modification.
