What Causes Weight Gain And Joints Pain While Treating PCOD?

pcod is easily amenable to treatment and perhaps the most likely cause of weight gain in your case metformin is one drug that has a very good role in managing this condition...it helps with weight loss and decreases insulin resistance in your body which would again have an additive effect on losing weight...a gynecologist in your area may advise you what else you can go for...if it was helpful do rate the response and i hope you get well soon
