Suggest Remedies For Weight Gain During Medication For PCOS

hi, i'm 19 have PCOS and my doctor has prescribed me Ginet 84, however in 6 months i have gained weight and i think it could be due to the pill as supposed to the PCOS as i had been off the pill for a year previously and had gained no weight but decided to go back onto it as i was not getting regular periods. do you have any suggestions to stop the weight gain? i have been exercising regulary and eating well.

Hello
Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome ( PCOS ) is a common disease in young female ( child bearing age group).
The most characteristic features are irregular or dysfunctional menstruation or amenorrhea ( no menses for 3-4 months ) , weight gain ( obesity ) , hirsutism acne , alteration in FSH/LH ratio, androgen excess, ovarian stroma changes.
All these findings are common in PCOS cases.
Since your doctor advise you ginet 84 i.e hormonal treatment for PCOS.
After stopping the drug , you didn't gain weight but this was due to the fact that your pcos symptoms were under control due to ginet 84 .
For one year you didn't gain weight because your pcos symptoms were regulated by ginet and once effect was over symptoms re started .
No doubt ,you are maintaining your diet and also doing exercise , but this is no sufficient .
So in my opinion consult your gynaecologist and take a treatment for pcos and once it will be under control , you will not gain weight and your menstruation irregularity will be regular.
Good luck.
