Cysts

I have been diagnosed with polycystic ovaries since coming off contraception as I was breaking out in cysts. My GP prescribes me with antibiotics that clears them up but I break out again in a couple of months I have taken a course of the contraceptive pill and that helps me not breakout in cysts. Does anyone know if there is anything that will help long term as I don't want to keep taking the pill for the rest of my life?

Have you tried seeing a skin specialist? That may help?. I know that changing your diet can help aswell.

Hope you find some answers soon

Myo-inositol worked for me. Jarrow is the brand I use via amazon. I did a lot of research when I was trying to conceive & checked with an obstetrician who was happy I used it. 1/4 teaspoon in water in am & pm. Took  about 3 months to take effect but regulated periods & helped with weight considerably. 

Diet is a definite- low GI, low dairy, no soya, loads of protein (I made up smoothies with protein powder in when I started trying to sort my pcos out)

Hi I was a bit hesitant to see a skin specialist as the cysts on my skin are breaking out because I have this so I would have though my they are able to do anything about it ??

Thanks I might try this what do you suggest is the best product to use??

I am on a long term antibiotics for my spot it has worked. 

How long was you taking them for ? When you came off them did you get anymore Cysts?

I am still taking them 

I might suggest this to my doctor then thank you

Let me know how you get on 

I will do smile I am going to try and change my diet too and see if that helps

I am on doxycycline 100mg 1 a day 

Try the paleo / keto diet. Low carb👌

How long are you taking them for? Is there any bad side effects?

Thanks I will have a look into that, hopefully something will work smile
