PCOD medicines
I've been diagnosed with PCOD and for medicine I've been given estradiol valerate and dydrofem tablets, alongwith met pco care. As per my understanding estradiol works as contraceptive pills as well. Previously when I used contraceptive pills I have gained a huge weight that time. Now to treat PCOD I should lose weight and on the contrary contraceptive pills make me gain weight. So should I take the pills or ask doctor to change the medicine? Is it necessary to take contraceptive pills for PCOD treatment ?
