You may be able to find a licensed naturopathic physician in your area who has an interest in PCOS and who can help you. Licensed naturopathic physicians tend to take a natural, comprehensive, holistic approach to reproductive disorders, as contrasted to a "take this pharmaceutical pill for that problem" approach.
