Am diagnosed with pcos, where both ovaries show msf & increased stromal echogenicity. I have been prescribed with medroxyprogesterone acetate 10 mg for 10 days. Will this be enough for pcos recovery & will the medication lead to weight gain?

Hello.. PCOS is a most common endocrine disorder associated with increased insulin level and increased androgen level in the body.. They affect the release of eggs from ovaries and leads to irregular menstrual cycles , obesity, increased hair growth in male pattern and in some cases infertility.. It’s difficult to completely cure PCOS but the symptoms can be controlled if one does lifestyle modification.. Lifestyle modification includes Avoiding weight gain Intake of low calorie food Regular exercise Daily brisk walk for 30 minutes Small meals at frequent intervals With above one also needs to take medications for regularising cycles ( progesterone or low dose combined pills)
