My daughter is 18 and she has ovarian cysts that caused her to be overweight, acne and hairy face plus menstrual severe pain. I was advised by doctors to treat her with Diane35.

Regular exercise, healthy foods, and weight control are the key treatments for PCOS. Treatment can reduce unpleasant symptoms and help prevent long-term health problems.
Try to fit in moderate activity and/or vigorous activity often. Walking is a great exercise that most people can do.
Eat heart-healthy foods. This includes lots of vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans, and whole grains. It limits foods that are high in saturated fat, such as meats, cheeses, and fried foods.
Most women who have PCOS can benefit from losing weight. Even losing (4.5 kg) may help get her hormones in balance and regulate your menstrual cycle.
It may take a while for treatments to help with symptoms such as facial hair or acne. she can use over-the-counter or prescription medicines for acne.
regular check ups needed to evaluate improvement but be patient all will get ok then

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), also called hyperandrogenic anovulation (HA), or Stein-Leventhal syndrome,is a widely prevalent endocrine disorder in the female population.. It is characterized by excess androgen activity; androgens are a group of hormones derived from cortisone (the naturally occurring steroid in our bodies) and is responsible for development of male characteristics (hair, voice etc) and oligoovulation (most cycles do not produce eggs)/anovulation (no eggs produced with menstruation) and/or polycystic ovaries.
Oral contraceptives pills (OCPs), which are usually made of a combination of estrogen and progesterone, the two major female hormones. They are recommended as first-line management for the menstrual abnormalities and hirsutism/acne of PCOS, since the progestin in OCPs suppresses androgen production by the ovaries and the estrogen reduces the already available androgen. OCPs, however, have not yet been proved to aid in controlling blood sugar in PCOS. OCPs have been shown to increase HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol) levels which may overcome the negative impact on triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol.
The second drug that is used in conjunction with OCPs and is as important for controlling PCOS manifestations is metformin. Metformin is recommended metformin in women with PCOS who have type 2 diabetes mellitus (the non-insulin dependent diabetes that usually develops later in life due to factors like obesity and insulin resistance, unlike type 1 diabetes or the insulin-dependent diabetes, which is seen more in children), or who have impaired glucose tolerance (defined as two-hour glucose levels of 140 to 199 mg per dL (7.8 to 11.0 mmol/l) on the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test) who fail lifestyle modification. For women with PCOS with menstrual irregularity who cannot take or do not tolerate OCPs, metformin is reserved as second-line therapy. Metformin has also been associated with weight loss in those who do not modify their diets and follow an exercise program; it is not recommended for the treatment of skin manifestations of PCOS such as acne and excess hair.
