I've been dealing with PCOD and haven't had my period for three months. Now I've got my period, but it's really heavy and I'm experiencing a lot of stomach pain. I'm stuck at home due to the lockdown and can't see a doctor for the next couple of days. Do you think this is normal, and is there anything I can do to manage the pain or bleeding until I can get to a doctor? I'm really worried.

I'm 29 and married, dealing with PCOD. I'm not on any treatment at the moment, but my periods have been irregular and I haven't had one since February. I'm trying to lose weight but haven't seen much progress. I'm feeling really stressed about all this. What should I do?

Considering your PCOD, irregular periods, and weight loss struggles, consult a gynecologist or an endocrinologist to discuss a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include hormonal medications, fertility treatments, and lifestyle modifications, such as a personalized diet and exercise plan, stress management techniques, and possibly medications like Metformin to regulate your menstrual cycle and improve insulin sensitivity
