Do I need to take Metformin if I have PMOS?

Not necessarily. Metformin is recommended when insulin resistance or increased metabolic risk is present, not for every patient. At CIMAR, I assess each woman's metabolic profile, symptoms, weight, and reproductive plans before deciding whether Metformin is appropriate.
