General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
I have read your query & understood your concern.
Increased body weight with irregular periods suggest condition affecting menstrual cycle.. PCOD.
Usg of lower abdomen can diagnose the condition. The causative factor for this being insulin resistance.. which affects hormonal cycle controlling ovulation ( essential for conception ) & menstruation.
Treatment of the condition is started with weight reduction.. you are already taking such medication.
Treatment of PCOD mainly consists of-
1) reduction of weight - This achieved by avoiding high caloric diet / reular exercises/ Medicine like Metformin( which removes insulin resistance
2) medicines to stimulate maturation of graffian follicles in ovary & bring about ovulation.
3 ) some times cyclical hormones are given to regulate menses as well as cause rebound ovulation
4 ) In case- there is no response.. laparoscopic surgery ( drilling of ovaries ) is needful.
The treatment plan is suggested by a gynecologist after USG abdomen/hormonal assessment.
You are therefore advised to consult a gynecologist & follow the treatment plan/ lifestyle changes suggested.
Thanks.
