hello , i am 22 years old and im suffering from PCOD problem. My doctor prescribed me to use APCOD powder. I'm on medication for past 4-5 months. I now have tingling sensation in my feet. Is it a permanent diabetic symptom ?
One of my doctor also have suggested me to use Benforce M. Is the effect of Benforce M and APCOD powder is one and the same ? Or i need to take both in order to reduce further complications ?

Hello madam,
You are 22/F, suffering from Poly cystic ovarian disease. You were on APCOD powder for 4 to 5 months. Recently you have been suggested to take
Benforce-M. First of all try to understand that you have been prescribed anti diabetic drugs, whereas you are not a diabetic. Then why, the following details will clarify your doubts.
Regarding Apcod: is an alternative medicine supplements and vitamins or natural alternatives, to use for Diabetes, and Obesity (only) and not for PCO.
Regarding Benforce M: is Metformin, given to reduce the insulin resistance indicated for PCO.
PCO usually occurs due to hormonal imbalance whether thyroid or ovary.
Analyse whether you have any hormonal imbalance and treat accordingly. Even if you don't have hormonal imbalance Benforce M cures ovarian cysts.
Diet: By maintaining a healthy weight and eating fewer processed foods and foods with added sugar, you can improve your body’s use of insulin and balance your hormone levels.
Weight loss if you are obese may help regulate your cycles, improve the frequency of ovulation.
Take Benforce M, along with other hormones if indicated.
The tingling sensation is not due to diabetic. If Iron, Folic acid and Vitanines do not help you consult a Dr. for tingling sensation
I hope it is clear for you now.
Best wishes
