This is general dietary information, not medical advice. PCOS presents differently in different women, and if you are on metformin, inositol, hormonal contraceptives or fertility treatment, discuss dietary changes with your doctor or dietitian. If you are pregnant or trying to conceive, some foods discussed on this site — therapeutic doses of fenugreek and bitter gourd, and raw sprouts — carry specific cautions in pregnancy; check with your doctor before adding them.
