I have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and experience heavy periods lasting 15 to 20 days unless I take my prescribed medications (Crina NCR, Aurtin, and Corectia-M). Given that my thyroid levels are normal but my blood tests show mild anemia and borderline high blood sugar, should I continue taking these medications long-term, or could my symptoms be managed through lifestyle changes or point to another underlying health condition?
Your current medications?Crina NCR (norethisterone) for bleeding, Corectia-M for blood sugar support, and Aurtin?are crucial right now to control your symptoms, protect your uterine lining, and address mild anemia. While lifestyle changes like a balanced diet and regular exercise are highly effective for managing PCOS and borderline blood sugar, they should complement, not immediately replace, your prescribed treatment. Please do not stop these medications without consulting your doctor. Together, you can safely monitor your progress and discuss long-term management plans.
