Can a combined oral contraceptive pill help regulate the menstrual cycle?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query, and I can understand your concern.

PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease) can be quite challenging as it has an impact on physical appearance, which is understandably a cause for concern. The management of PCOD depends on your specific goals. You may need to undergo some investigations to confirm the diagnosis unless you already have results. A recommended medication, especially if you are not planning to get pregnant soon, is a combined oral contraceptive pill. It can regulate your menstrual period and help reduce free testosterone in your body, thereby addressing acne and hirsutism.

Furthermore, dietary and lifestyle modifications are essential to control the weight gain associated with PCOD. If weight gain persists despite exercise, medications may be necessary. Please let me know your concerns as a PCOD patient and whether you have any investigation results.

I hope I have answered your question.

Thank you.
