Hi, you seem to be suffering from hormonal imbalance called pcos. Kindly get your examination done by a gynaecologist. Weight is a sum total of bone, water, muscle and fat. You need to lose fat to get healthy. Eat small frequent meals every 2 -3 hours to improve metabolism and reduce fat. Have whole grain cereals like millets (bajra, jowar, ragi) and pulses and sprouts. Eat protein rich diet egg whites, sprouts (especially post workout, it will help in building muscle) and improve metabolism. Include healthy essential fat in your diet like nuts - almonds and walnuts, vegetable seeds like pumpkin, watermelon, sunflower seeds, etc. Eat fiber rich diet, it will help to gain early satiety and help you feel full - include fruits like citrus varieties, papaya and leafy vegetables in your diet. Eat heavy breakfast, as 40% of day’s energy comes from breakfast. Moderate lunch and light dinner with maximum fibre and protein’s. Avoid junk food, oily food, processed or canned foods. Drink a glass of water every hour daily to optimally hydrate the body. Exercise 40-45 minutes 4-5 times a week. Brisk walking, aerobics, jogging, skipping or any outdoor activity can be done. 3 days a week if resistance training is done it will help. Do not workout for 2 hours as this would lead to loss of muscle mass. Sleep of 7-8 hours will help in releasing all toxins and reduce bloating thus will lead to weight loss.

The condom is a kind of birth control. If you use it with another kind of birth control, you further reduce the risk of getting pregnant. But no method or combination of methods is guaranteed to be 100 percent effective. The only guaranteed way to not get pregnant is by not having vaginal intercourse. Period usually start again within 4 weeks after stopping the pill, but this depends on what your cycle is normally like. Weight, health, stress, exercise and conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) can all influence your cycle.

Are your periods regular? Any other symptom? Size of cyst? Pcod/pcos is a common hormonal disorder in women which can lead to weight gain and irregular periods. While most women depend on pills to deal with it, these simple changes in your lifestyle will help you deal with the condition in a better way. 1.Nutritional approach: deficiency of micronutrients contributes to insulin insensitivity and compromise ovarian function. So, 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of plain water first thing in the morning (preferably within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, seasonal fruit (eat whole fruit not juice), a cup of curd/milk etc 5. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. Take simple food like rice n dal in dinner. 6. Avoid fast foods n fried foods7. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 8. Drink lot of water9. Everyday preferably sleep on same time10. Maintain active life style2. Exercise strategies: regular workouts are non-negotiable. They are essential to burn off fat stores for hormonal balance and regular ovulation. You should join a gym for weight training. Do it 2-3 times a week with at least 48 hours in between 2 sessions. Other days you can do cardio exercises like yoga, cycling, swimming etc. Till lock down do suryanamaskar. Https://www.youtube.com/watch? V=wmhmazurgvs&feature=youtu. Be3. Sleep: adequate sleep is non-negotiable too. Sleeping at a more or less fixed time every day and for an adequate number of hours is a prerequisite to keep hormones in sync. 4. De-stress yourself: love yourself more than anyone else, prioritize your health, learn to say no, take time out to exercise and relax. Pursue your favorite activities, learn a new skill, and never ignore your body signals. For this homeopathic treatment is very effectivefor details consult online.

Hello, thanks for the query. Madam I have seen the details posted. From that I understand that you have hypothyroidism, (no mention of tsh & t4 values or dosage of levothyroxine being taken), hypertension (no bp readings mentioned & nothing about drugs, dosage), plus you are adding weight (no weight & height mentioned) and also have noticed higher fasting & pp glucose levels (both levels not mentioned). Madam the whole information is very scanty, without knowing exact details (as mentioned in the bracket) I will not be able to give any guidance at all. As regards taking jeera & / or methi water, there are no specific clinical reports about their efficacy in relation to reducing the blood glucose levels. Blood glucose level can be reduced by taking a properly planned diet that provides just adequate calories based on your ideal body weight (not on current or excess weight), regular exercise and weight control. Since no specific information is provided no further comment can be made. My suggestion please come back with evry detail then I will be able to help. Thanks.

1) thyroid needs to be controlled by repeated reports and changes in doses as required. 2) pcos is a disease where there is a hormonal imbalance. Depending on your complaints, examination, reports, and stage of life treatment differs, and it also needs more time to get yourself treated with patience. Meet gynecologist in whom you have trust as you will need to go for a long time to him/her. Overweight is very common so in case you have that reduction of weight helps tremendously. 3) pregnancy can occur only one day of the cycle that is ovulation day so unprotected sex around that day only important.
