Suggest Treatment For PCOS

I was told I have pcos for about three years now. I was unable to eat alot of sugary foods or snacks about 6 months ago, now its too the point that the smallest sip or bite of something with sugar and my right ovary starts to flare up. Should I worry about it aggravating my ovaries or could this be another problem?
