Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and understand your health concerns ,
In my opinion your wife is having PCOS .for proper diagnose and treatment you have to consult local gynacologist . Till then she can do following -
Treatment for PCOS usually starts with lifestyle changes like weight loss, diet, and exercise.
Losing just 5 to 10 percent of your body weight can help regulate your menstrual cycle and improve PCOS symptoms . Weight loss can also improve cholesterol levels, lower insulin, and reduce heart disease and diabetes risks.
Any diet that helps you lose weight can help your condition. However, some diets may have advantages over others.
Birth control pills and other medicines can help regulate the menstrual cycle and treat PCOS symptoms like hair growth and acne.
Metformin is a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes. It also treats PCOS by improving insulin levels
I hope this answers your query.
