Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 20-year-old and have been diagnosed with PCOS and anemia with anisopoikilocytosis. I have a regular but scanty menstrual cycle. I also suffer from pica disorder. I feel very drowsy and have severe menstrual cramps along with vomiting. Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Have a complete checkup and take full treatment of all health issues. Have iron containing diet, apples, carrots, spinach, and iron supplements to avoid anemia. Have a psychologist consultation regarding pica disorder. Have a daily walk, exercise, do yoga, and try to have a normal BMI and weight. During menses, you can have a tablet of Postan 500 mg (Mefenamic acid) eight hourly for cramps for three to five days. Take a tablet of Cyclizine 50 (Cyclizine hydrochloride)for vomiting for only eight hourly . Have combined oral contraceptive pills for three months cyclically to regulate cycles. Have a transvaginal scan and day two menses blood tests for progesterone, prolactin, testosterone, insulin, FSH, LH, thyroid function test, and complete blood count. Collect all results and discuss them here. Anaemia should be corrected properly and a physician should review it regularly.
Thank you.
