Hello,
This condition of havings cysts in your ovaries along with irregular periods is called as PCOS ( poly cystic ovary disease )
PCOS is a major health concern and affects nearly 5-15% of females and causes an ovulation,infertility and hyperandrogenesim and acne.
GLYCOMET ( METFORMIN ) is the most wonderful drug used to treat PCOS symptoms and also to control diabetes.
GLYCOMET reduces insulin resistance and helps in controlling androgen production by ovaries and also results in lowering blood sugar levels,promotes normal ovarian function,restoring normal menstrual periods and ovulation.
It is very important for you to take this drug but you must also observe dietary control,do regular aerobic exercises and shed your weight.
This would not only control our diabetes but also help you in achieving your next pregnancy.
GLYCOMET is absolutely safe and is a treatment for cyst and doesn't cause cysts.
Best of luck
Thanks
