Hi,

From the medications that you are taking, it seems that you have PCOD. PCOD stands for polycystic ovarian disease. The medications you are taking are correct for the disease. It is possible that you need further treatment. For this, please consider getting operated. The operation required would be to get the cysts present in the ovaries to be burst. Once the cysts are burst, then symptoms should improve. I hope this helps you.

It appears that your doctor suspects PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS) as the underlying cause of your irregular periods.A ultrasound scan and other tests will help.losing weight and regular exercise will also help.
