Hello dear
Understand your concern
In PCOS prevalence of the the anovulatory infertility is around 65-70 percent.
It means infertility is due to absence of ovulation.
But do not excessive worry. But success rate of pregnancy after treatment is around 70-75 percent.
So main aim of the treatment is regularize the period by induction of ovulation and maintain the fertility.
Consult the gynecologist and go for reproductive hormone analysis, USG scan and Ovarian follicle study that hep in the management of case.
Doctor will give following treatment:
To regularize the period: Oral contraceptive pill and progesterone pill like primolut N in second half of the period.
Metformin also useful to induce the period and maintain glucose homeostasis.
Once period become regular chance of pregnancy is high.
Following treatment can be given for infertility like clomiphene citrate, FSH analogue and drug does not responds then IVF can be used.
Ovarian cyst resistant to drugs can be treated by ovarian dreeling surgery.
Diet and life style modification: avoid excessive sweet in the diet and take small frequent meal rather than large meal, take fresh fruits and diet rich in the antioxidant like vitamin C, E, zinc and magnesium
Do regular exercise in the morning for for 45-60 minutes and reduce the weight around 10-12 percent to regularize the period.
Hope this may help you
