Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
PCOD is due to hormonal imbalance causing absence of ovulation.This only causes prolonged periods . Metformine is a drug to treat insulin resistance causing hormonal imbalance.... needs to be taken for a long time & if it is accompanied by exercises it helps in lessening weight too.
For the bleeding problem you would need oral contraceptive according to your health( it is to be taken very strictly as advised)for 3-6 months f. Please consult a gynecologist
Thanks.
