Hi. Ya pcos is treated by modifying lifestyle. If BMI is high then tell her to reduce her wt. If she has not done her blood tests recently in a yr, then tell her to do it. Regular exercise should be done. Take a proper diet by one dietician. If any hormone imbalance is there then it can be treated.

PCOS is a multisystem disorder where genetics may also play a role apart from lifestyle changes.
