Yes it is used. But it is not a permanent solution.
Better take homeopathic treatment. It can cure PCOD.

The medicine does not increase insulin levels in the body, but instead lessens the amount of sugar the body produces and absorbs. As it lowers glucose production in the liver, metformin also lowers blood sugar by increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.
But you should not take any medicine without doctor's advise as it may be harmful.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

No need to take any contraceptive pills as you already are a case of PCOs, and taking indiscriminate contraceptive pills in the middle of cycle will only create more harmonal imbalance. Wait for your periods and in case you miss your periods you may take abortion pills as advised by us at that time.
