Hi,

Diet and exercise are the first line treatments in PCOS. Oral contraceptive pills are used to regularize the period, and all are almost equally effective, but the newer ones containing Drosperinone (a newer Progesterone) are being preferred.
Also Metformin which is usually used by diabetics is also given in doses of 500-1500mg daily for 3 -6 months .
I would like to know if you are planning to have a pregnancy, then the treatment plan would change as ovulation will have to be induced by Clomiphene.
But first I would ask to contact a good gynaecologist in your area and discuss these option with her.
A dietitian input is also desirable to help with weight .

Hope this helps.
Regards.
