What dietary adjustments can help prevent diabetes in a patient with PCOS?

Hello doctor,

I am a 28-year-old woman, and I have been dealing with PCOS. Recently, my doctor informed me that I am also in the prediabetic stage and need to be mindful of my diet. I would appreciate more detailed insights and recommendations regarding dietary changes for diabetes prevention. I am concerned about the possibility of developing this condition at a young age, especially since my parents were diagnosed later in life. Despite my father's diligent adherence to a healthy diet, regular tests, and prescribed medications, he suffered a heart attack and passed away two years ago. This experience has made me skeptical about the effectiveness of diet alone. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello doctor,

I am 25 and my husband is 31. We got married eight months ago. We are trying for a baby. I have pain during intercourse. Can you suggest the best time for trying? I am not getting aroused. Can you suggest how I can? What types of food do we have to eat in order to conceive?

I avoid sex as I absolutely do not want to get pregnant again. Please help.

Hi doctor,

I am a 34 year old female. I do not like sex because I am always worried that my partner will ejaculate inside me. He does not like using a condom. We always end up fighting during sex, as I ask him to use a condom and he does not want to. We have a son aged 9 years and I do not want another child. In the last 9 years, I took Unwanted 72 nearly 12 times. Please give me a remedy, so that we can enjoy sex. We have stopped having sex often because of these arguments.

I missed my pills on two consecutive days. Should I stop or continue the pack?

Hello doctor,

I am being treated for PCOS. My gynecologist prescribed me Irozorb syrup, ovacare tablets, and Sysron-N. I started taking them on the fifth day of my last period. I missed my Sysron pill on the 22nd and 23rd. I took my usual dosage now today. I got my period. Should I continue the tablets or stop the dosage and consult my doctor? My period cycle is 25 days.

I had bleeding after taking morning-after pill. Does that mean I am not pregnant?

Hi doctor,

If I had unprotected sex on the 29th of last month, took the morning-after pill a few hours later, and today on the 14th, got my regular period which was due today, does that mean I am 100 % not pregnant?
