Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Your mentioned symptoms are suggestive of condition known as polycystic ovarian disease.
Patients with PCOD have abnormal levels of hormones that result in irregular menses, infertility and certain masculine changes in the body.
Regular exercise, healthy foods, and weight control are the key treatments for PCOS. Treatment reduce unpleasant symptoms and help prevent long-term health problems.
There are hormonal agents to reduce your symptoms and also help you to have regular periods. These agents are prescription agents and so you can not get them without prescription in drug store. So I advice you to see gynecologist for examination and based on it they will treat you.
I also advice you that it is important to see your doctor for follow-up to make sure that treatment is working and to adjust it if needed.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,
I find this answer helpful
