Hi,
I understand your concern.
PCOD is a condition due to hormonal imbalance, resulting in supression of ovulation.
- In the treatment plan, doctor's try to stimulate ovulation by giving cyclical hormonal contraceptives in the beginning.
- Specific treatment consists of -
- Weight reduction( dieting, exercises,tablets like metformin),/ovulation stimulation by specific drugs ( Clomiphene) - a full course of minimum 6 months usually gives results. If not
- surgery is the ultimate answer for the problem.
I would advise treatment under expert gynecologist's guidance.
Thanks.
