Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Yes, PCOD is treatable.
If your menstrual flow and cycle pattern is normal, no need of hormonal pills.
If menstrual flow is normal, no need to bother even if occurs for 2 to 3 days.
You may need only insulin sensitizers. You discuss this with your doctor and proceed accordingly.
For hirsutism you have to go for cosmetic methods. If you need permanent treatment go for electrolysis, laser etc.

Take care.
