Hi,
The very condition of PCOD needs long time treatment for at least a year and added to medical management, you need to manage your diet and weight. Avoid fatty and oily foods, cheese and bakery foods, take lot of fresh fruit and vegetables; do some regular exercise with stress on reducing abdominal fat; avoid stress in work and practice some meditation, drink lot of water, at least 2-3 liters per day. Consult your doctor and get advised on further management. PCOD is mostly treatable and sometimes get corrected spontaneously when the general condition improves. Good luck.

Hello,
PCOS is very tricky problem.
Loosing weight is very important to regain fertility in a patient of PCOS. 
It is said that even if you are able to shed 10% of your weight,you hall be able to get your periods back. 
To shed weight 
Take low carbohydrate and high protein diet 
Do regular aerobic exercises like brisk walking or swimming or cycling 
And you should take medicines to balance your body hormones like birth control pills 

The most important aspect of treatment is use of insulin sensitising medicine called as METFORMIN
Since patients of PCOS have incresed insulin resistance ,you need METFORMIN to reduce the insulin resistance. 
Insulin resistance causes a build up of insulin and sugar levels in the blood which results in 
Increased production of male hormones in body. 
These increased levels of male hormones result in acne,infertility and WEIGHT GAIN. 

Consult a Gynecologist or a physician and start taking METFORMIN 500 mg twice a day,under his advise,for at least 6 months.
Thanks
