And there are many reasons for why people gain weight.
Weight gain can be part of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. So this is, again, you probably need to see your specialist or GP about this to have this treatment started. And this is really important because it can also reduce the long-term risk of cancer of the uterus, which is slightly increased in women with irregular periods. Often we use hormonal treatments like the combined oral contraceptive pill to change this. In regards to irregular periods, and these are very common in patients with PCOS, and they're related to irregular or absent ovulation and these can sometimes be very heavy, painful and unpredictable, which makes life very difficult. So it's really important to have some form of contraception at the time. And if the acne is very, very bad, especially cystic acne, then it's good to maybe see a dermatologist who might recommend the use of raw Accutane, which is very effective, important to say that while people are on raw Accutane, they're not allowed to fall pregnant because it is teratogenic.
And then you've got the hormonal preparations that I mentioned before, such as the combined oral contraceptive pill and the anti-androgens that help to manage their condition over time. You can take topical antibiotics from time to time. They're obviously topical treatments like face washes, that can be effective. We often use similar, very similar treatments. With regard to acne, which is also very common. Long-term hormonal preparations, such as the combined oral contraceptive pill, and anti-androgens such as Spironolactone and Subrata acetate are very good options that managing this condition, you do need to see a specialist or your GP about this to get these medications prescribed. In the short-term, we recommend cosmetic treatments such as electrolysis and laser. This is called hirsutism, and the symptoms obviously can be quite difficult to manage. One of them may be excessive facial and body hair. First of all, there are several symptoms that are associated with PCOS.
