Irregular menstruation, enlarged ovaries

2018-09-02 16:27:10
I'm a 20 year old suffering from irregular menstruation and heavy weight gain (about 20kg) just in an years time. The scan showed enlarged ovaries right ovary 34x17mm left ovary 32x18mm. Morphology suggested PCOD as ovaries had cystic areas. Can anyone explain about enlarged ovaries? Will I be infertile? What else can I do as I'm already doing exercise and taking birth control pills.
