PCOD contributes to a hormonal imbalance, which suppresses normal ovulatory cycles and contributes to irregular excessive menses. The hormonal imbalance stems from a tendency toward insulin resistance, which can increase the risk for diabetes mellitus. Treatment includes both hormonal regulation for management of her cycles
