Can you please suggest how to deal with this situation without strong medicines. My report shows bilateral mildly polycystic ovaries. My gynecologist said that it is a starting problem and can be cured. What should I do to cure it. Please also tell me how to lose weight as my weight has increased by almost 25 kilograms in 4 to 5 years. My lifestyle is sedentary as I am a student and I do not exercise. I went to the gym for 2 months and then left. I am not following any diet. I stay in a PG so my food options are limited?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi Doctor, I am a 27 year old woman and have been trying to conceive for 4 months without success. I recently went for a scan and blood tests. Blood tests are all normal, but the pelvic scan showed small follicles in my ovaries, which may be why my periods have been delayed (my cycle has been about 40 days for the past two months). My doctor prescribed Metformin and plans to do a scan from days 10 to 14 to check for ovulation. I am worried, is it okay to take Metformin to help with these immature follicles? My previous scan showed: Right ovary: 3.5 x 2.0 x 2.3 cm Left ovary: 3.4 x 2.0 x 2.6 cm The recent scan shows: Right ovary: 3.1 x 1.8 x 2.9 cm Left ovary: 2.6 x 1.8 x 2.9 cm Please explain what is happening with my ovaries and whether these results indicate any major problem.
