How Can Amenorrhea Be Treated?

I had irregular periods since my puberty which happened when I was 14. Now I am 26, weight: 50, height:5'2'' and got married last year. I went to consult a doctor months back because of my severe menstrual pain and thus diagonised with Poly-cystic ovaries. I was asked to take ovral-l for 3 months and wait to see whether my periods get regular the 4th month without any medication & if not then I have to consult with a Gynecologist again. As my periods didnt appear the 4th month, I was prescribed again with " Diane 35" & "Metformin" since I had severe acne problem and sugar as a hereditary (even though I wasn't diagonized with sugar). I am taking these pills for the first month. It had been 5 days after I stopped taking Diane 35, but still I havent got my periods. What will be the cause? What should I do? since I started Diane 35, I am having a heavy hair fall.

Hello
Let me explain about the sign ans symptoms of PCOD ( Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease ) , these include.
1 Androgen excess manifesting as hirsutism and acne ( as in your case).
2 Menstrual irregularities , dysfunctional uterine bleeding or amenorrhea ( you were also having irregular bleeding , now having amenorrhea or no bleeding).
3 Obesity with glucose intolerance .
Lab signs
1 Alteration of FSH/ L H ratio.
2 ELEVATED testosterone level .
Ultrasound findings of artetric follicles with increased ovarian stroma.
Since you are also having symptoms .
As your doctor prescribed diane35 ( cproteione ) and metformine , as these two acts as hromonal regulator ( diane as an oral contraceptive pill ) while metformin is prescribed for PCOD.
In my opinion take this treatment for at least 1 year for successful results .
Hope this will help you.
