    TLDR Thai women with PCOS become more aware and change their lifestyle to manage their fertility and symptoms.
    The study "Getting Through Fertility: Self-Care Management Process of Thai Women with Abnormal Menstruation Due to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome" from 2019 aimed to describe the self-care management process among Thai women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The researchers used a grounded theory approach and found that "getting through fertility" was the core category of self-care management for these women. The study concluded that a diagnosis of PCOS could increase women's awareness, leading them to modify their lifestyle to treat amenorrhea and associated symptoms.

      A 30-year-old female with PCOS and male pattern baldness is frustrated with her endocrinologist's recommendation of only Spironolactone and minoxidil, feeling that dutasteride, finasteride, and progesterone would be more effective. Other users suggest various online sources for treatments, warn against self-medicating due to potential risks, and recommend seeking a specialized endocrinologist or considering additional treatments like Inositol, Berberine, and dermaneedling.
