Doctor,
Thank you very much for your response. You had mentioned that
"PCOS can also lead to blood diseases like diabetes, heart disease, liver inflammation, uterine bleeding, sleep apnea, and endometrial cancer.
Long-term treatment may be needed to help prevent endometrial cancer, diabetes, and heart disease."
Considering that i do not want to get pregnant, would like to understand what kind of treatment i should be taking?
Say if i get the periods once in 3 or 4 months. can i leave it like that? any issues if i don't take any treatment?
or it is required to get my periods atleast once in 45 or 60 days? so that it doesn't lead to any other problems.
Also when you say long term treatment, do you mean i need to take treatment even after menopause?

Brief Answer:
Treatment is needed to have regular periods.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Even if you do not want a pregnancy you need to treat this disorder so as to get regular periods and avoid gaining any more weight. Weight gain and irregular periods will cause a metabolic imbalance and can increase the chances of having cardiac or liver problems.
It is better to take medicines like Metformin , try to reduce weight and take medicines so that you have a period at least once every 45-60 days.
You need a treatment at least till menopause. Usually treatment is not needed after menopause.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
