He sounds particularly rubbish. Though sadly it is generally the norm to be told to get on with it if you're not ttc, although I think doctors are getting a bit better.
I was diagnosed a few months ago but I'd sort of worked out it was likely a few years ago from having friends diagnosed.
Some basics: The NHS mostly doesn't care unless you want to get pregnant. There's an assumption PCOS = not ovulating/ovulating irregularly, which is frequently the case, but its a syndrome, so symptoms present differently in different people and a lot of the other symptoms have a massive impact on your life.
If you want to get pregnant, they'll often prescribe a drug called metformin, which regulates blood sugar (there's a link between blood sugar and PCOS) and can start more regular ovulation. Also might give something like Clomid.
If you don't, generally, they'll just tell you to go on the pill and come back to them when you want to start a family.
However, you can push for more than that. I've asked to go on metformin to help with other symptoms, I was on the pill but hormonal contraception sadly doesn't suit me.
There's also a lot you can do with diet and lifestyle. For info, a book by Colette Harris on understanding PCOS is good, and there's a website called verity with lots of online help forums that is often useful. Read up, decide what kind of treatment you'd like and how its effecting you and go back to your GP.
Also: the reason I came off the pill was to do with the fact it killed my sex drive, but I was on yasmin beforehand and aside from that it was wonderful: regulated my mood, cleared up my skin, stopped excess hair growing, basically perfect except for the fact I have a partner. So it might be worth considering, depending on how it impacts on you.
