Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal (37 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Life style changes and medication used for PCOS.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern.

Life style changes and medication both are used in PCOS treatment.

Medication used in PCOS are-

- Oral contraceptives, in your case if weight gain is there, then you can use progesterone pill only.

Metformin is also used to regulate blood sugar levels.

Clomid is used to induce regular ovulation

-Spironolactone ( diuretic) is also practiced in some case.

Treatment also includes lifestyle changes and medicine-

- Adopt a healthy and balanced diet rich in protein and low in fat and carbohydrate.
- Eat lots of fruits and vegetables in your diet.
-Do not take stress, do some yoga and meditation.
- Do some regular exercise to keep your weight.

Garcinia Combogia is a drug employed to reduce weight, but research says that it is not very effective in weight loss.

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Regards.

Could you let me know the dosage of these pills?

Or should I get the scans done before the dosage is recommended?

Brief Answer:
Get your scan done first.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Nice to hear from you again as well.

You should first go for ultrasound scan, hormonal profile, thyroid profile and blood sugar levels before starting your medication.

So please get your test done and revert back to me with your reports, so I will be able to give my opinion to you.
