Hallow Dear,

You seem to have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). This disorder is not only restricted to ovaries but in addition is metabolic and hormonal disorder too. In this along with the delayed menses, there is high insulin and high male hormones.

You have to bring down your weight to get rid of PCOS. High protein low carbohydrate and low fat diet is the key. Along with, exercise is mandatory. Brisk walk morning-evening at the rate of 90 steps per minute for 40 minutes in addition to the stretching exercises will help you bring down the weight. Eat good amount of fruits, fresh green leafy vegetables and sprouts.

If you are keen on becoming pregnant, medicines like clomiphene citrate will help you otherwise birth control pills can regularize your menses.

I hope this helps you.
