Suggest Treatment For Irregular Periods And Weight Gain
Question: Hi am 24 years and i have a problem of irregular peridos and i am gaining over weight because of this so what is the best remedy for this?
Brief Answer:
Oral contraceptive pills can help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The irregular periods that you have can be related to your being overweight and a hormonal disturbance related to PCOD.
The treatment is mainly medical treatment with Oral contraceptive pills for some time. It will make your menstrual cycles become regular. But most important is exercising to lose weight and becoming fit. If exercise is not done then the hormonal imbalance will still be there. Proper diet consisting of low carbohydrates, low fat diet with plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables is needed. Drink plenty of water. Do daily brisk walking for 40 minutes. Avoid junk food, pastries, colas.
Kindly consult your Gynecologist and get yourself examined completely and also get an ultrasound and various tests done. Once diagnosis is confirmed by ultrasound and hormones tests, the treatment can begin, but as I mentioned again, diet and exercise are the most important for cure and not just the medication alone.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
