Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Yes, you can take medicine to get relief from pain.
You can take antispasmodics which will decrease the pain.
Continue taking metformin as adviced by your doctor.
If the symptoms of PCOD persist, you can go for contraceptive pills along with metformin.
This can releave future dysmenorrhea.
Take care.
