See gyn: Pcod can be controlled with birth control pills and also metformin. Please see gyn or an endocrinologist and they will be able to guide you.

Not surprising: Homeopathic medications are harmless but neither are they particularly effective. Your daughter's pcod and weight may be related and she would be better advised to consult her gynecologist or an endocrinologist.

Complex: Pcod or polycystic ovarian disease is a complex disease that may require prescription medications to help manage. Follow up with a medical doctor and perhaps an endocrinologist would be advisable for your daughter.

Homeopathy unhelpful: Homeopathic medications would not be expected to be helpful for this condition. Medical evaluation and medications can be very helpful.
