OB-GYN (Obstetrician-Gynecologist) Questions PCOD

Will PCOD medication cause weight gain?

I have recently started taking medicine for my PCOD. I am worried if this medication could cause weight gain.

The usual treatment is oral contraceptives, which have been shown in many studies not to cause weight gain. PCOS, left untreated, may cause uterine cancer, infertility, and even death.
No in fact it helps in weight loss
Which meds are you on? Most of the meds we use are hormonal and may cause weight gain, but not more than using birth control.
It will not cause weight gain but it will help in reducing weight
If you are taking an oral contraceptive, that may cause weight gain, but if you are taking metformln, that helps some lose weight.
