What are the treatment options for PCOS?

Treatment options for PCOS vary based on individual needs and goals. They may include lifestyle changes (diet and exercise), medication to regulate menstrual cycles and ovulation (e.g., birth control pills, clomiphene), medication to manage symptoms like acne and hair growth (e.g., spironolactone), and fertility treatments if pregnancy is desired.
