I am 30 married having pcod. I take telma 40 and lypaglin for high bp and cholesterol daily. My period is irregular and my prolactin e level gets high very often and then until I take cabergoline my periods won't come. Last month my doctor prescribed me to take meprate twice a day for 8 days every month and I will get my period. Is meprate a steroid and has side effects of being diabetic and getting any infection if I take meprate every month? In that case is there any alternate option of getting my period regularly without any steroid?

Hello! Meprate is not a steroid, it is a type of progesterone. Progesterone needs to be produced by the ovary in the second half of your menstrual cycle in order to cause regular bleeding. Since it is not produced in every cycle in PCOS, you can take it in the form of tablets to cause regular bleeding. It is safe. Also combine with lifestyle modification in terms of diet and exercise. Take care!

Your periods can be irregular because of pcod asssociated with hyper prolactinemia. Reduce your weight and maintain bmi between 22-23. Maintain normal prolactin level is also very important. For this you should consult your doctor and need to take medicine for prolong time. It's not advisable to take cabgolin only (for short period) when your periods does not come.

I think you can work out on your other aspects like thyroid profile and sugars as well to find out if it is high may be the reason for irregular period is itself high cholesterol levels hypertension and prolactin so try to regularise it definitely reduce your weight down to 60 kgs from 70 kg. this gradually reduces your duration of cycle prolongation and helps you in having regular periods it simultaneously correct the hypertension and cholesterol levels instead of switching over to medications you can try to switch over to some healthy lifestyle and sleep pattern and try to reduce back to your normal weight which you were long back
