So then the question is what do we need what do we need to do to treat PCOS right so depends on the goal of the patient right so if they're trying to get pregnant there's one set of treatments if they're not trying to get pregnant but they have PCOS then we usually focus on their cycles because it's generally not a good idea to go too long in between cycles because what can happen is the lining of the uterus can overgrow. If it overgrows too much, it can become what we call hyperlastic. Worst case scenario, cancer. So, you definitely don't want that. So, it's important to be shedding that lining or to be on hormonal suppression so that that doesn't happen. Um, if the goal is to treat the hyperendrogenic symptoms like the acne and the heretism, again, hormonal treatments usually effective for that.
