Prolonged periods
Hi doctor!
I've been diagnosed with pcod 6 years ago and I was under metformin for 1 month initially. I had severe hairfall . My periods were regular back then. But after 3 years of being diagnosed with pcod, i observed irregular periods and during covid I haven't had my periods for about 8 months. After that I had one or two cycles missed . For the past 8 months , i.e., from November 2023 till date I have prolonged periods that last for about a month . My recent cycle started on March 4th week and that seemed to stop by the end of May. But even after that I found clots while passing urine and I'd start to bleed on random days. I'm afraid regarding this . Please enlighten me about this .

The only treatment of pcos is to exercise and maintain a healthy bmi
Total days of bleeding during period should never last more than 7
Bleeding more than 7 days is unrelated to pcos
You need investigations to find out the reason and treatment accordingly
