Managing PCOD is highly effective and tailored to your specific symptoms and goals. First, lifestyle modifications like a balanced diet and regular exercise are the foundation of treatment. For medical options, we typically use: 1. Combined oral contraceptive pills to regularise your menstrual cycles and manage acne or excess hair. 2. Metformin to improve insulin sensitivity and support weight management. 3. Spironolactone to reduce excess hair growth and acne. 4. Letrozole or clomiphene if you are planning a pregnancy, to help induce ovulation. Rest assured, PCOD is a very common and highly manageable condition, and we will find the best plan for you.
