PCOD is a genetic condition and is not completely curable.
However there are a lot of options available for management of the symptoms and for prevention of the adverse effects of pcod.
For irregular periods she needs to be on hormonal pills (progesterone pills) to regularise the menses and take myoinositol tablets too.
Pregancy is possible naturally/with ovulation induction.
Hair fall/tiredness are more related to the thyroid problem than to pcos.
