Ked: I am a 27-year-old female. I am over weight. And few days ago I was diagnosed with a cyst in my right ovary. I am getting married next soon and me and my husband do not have plans to have a child within next 5 years. When I consulted a doctor he prescribed me NOVELON and asked me to continue as oral contraceptive after marriage. I trust my doctor's opinion, but just to be sure, is it safe for overweight women? Do I have any chances of further weight gain? Please help.

I am a nutritionist so can't comment on the medicine. However you should start exercising regularly so that you can reduce weight. A weight loss diet needs to taken because even if you want to conceive 5 years, there could be complications and difficulties due to weight gain. The only solution to all your problems is weight loss. You need to take atleast 5 servings of fruits and vegetables and avoid the intake of simple carbs like maida and all kinds of junk.

As a nutritionist there are no comments on the medicine. And rightly said by Dr. Avni you need to reduce weight so exercising regularly and drinking like warm water 2-3 times in a day will help you maintain your weight. Weight gain with pcos can create complications in conceiving. You need to take proper amount of fruits and vegetables and high finer foods and avoid processed foods.
