My daughter is 17 year old. During last 2 years she had irregular period. Suggested by my doctor, she took Norgest tablet for 3 months and her period got regularised recently. Presently, she has some hairs on her face above lips,her appearance is pale and not glowing as per age and she is thin with short height. She is confused, weak and have less energy/stamina. After sonography it was found that she is having Polycyst in ovary.

Pl. advice if this is appropriate medicine for her problem and if it will have any side effects. What is other best suitable medicine prescribed for the problem. We want her to gain physical and mental development at the earliest, according to her age since the problem is affecting her studies.

Hi Nupur,
Thanks for writing in to Healthcare Magic!
PCOD is a physical disorder and has got nothing to do with brain development and the studies can be affected if the child is not mentally obsessed to get cured.
Please do not impress the girl that she is sick, because that can cause unnecessary anxiety, you need to be supportive. The treatment takes time.
The pharmacological treatment by your doctor is correct. Ensure that she avoids fried foods and take a morning walk and other light exercises daily.
Get a repeat ultrasonography and hormone levels after 4-6 months.
If you have any further query please let me know I would try to answer it for you.
Wish you a great health!
