Hi to the health expert(gynaecologist), I am a 24yr old lady working in an MNC with moderate work stress. I've pcos since i m 14 yrs old. I matured at the age of 11. I m a second daughter to my parents. During my teenage(5'4 height , weighed between 47-50kg , watery body with no muscle or bone mass), since i was too ambitious about getting a job and working hard in my studies, i didn't focus on eating well enough. I never skipped my meals or ate any kind of outside food(not even chips or biscuits). It's just that i am mostly stressed due to studies and eat only till my stomach says i m full. I didn't workout or ate enough protein till 22yrs old. Since last year , i m starting to look online and doctors suggestion regarding pcos and started taking care of my nutrition, lifestyle. Currently from the recent checkups I found out that have B12 and D3 deficiencies. Other than PCOS, my thyroid, insulin, prolactin, testosterone, female hormones, lipid profile etc.., everything is good. Currently, my height is 5'4, weight is 55kg, mostly water body with average muscle in legs atleast. I m focusing to take dry fruits , enough protein(eggs, dal, paneer, chicken) in my diet, along with working out atleast 3-4 times a week, sleeping peacefully. Getting periods between every 30-50 days. I m at the start of the journey to improve my health and nutritional deficiencies. I m not sure when I'll be married or gonna plan kids. Please advise me on how much time my body may take for regularising the periods since my body was irregular for 10yrs and how to understand if my health is good for child planning. Please advise me regarding any additional care required.

Following advises: 1) You can continue taking low-dose ORAl contraceptive pills for a few months if you have irregular periods.
2) To prevent withdrawal bleeding, take progesterone-only pills if your periods last longer than six weeks. 3) To cure deficiencies in vitamins, B12 and D, take 60 k of vitamin D once a week for 12 weeks. For three months, both
4) PCO supplements that include metformin, melatonin, myoionositol, and chiroioinositol 5) Changes in lifestyle: 45-minute walk every day. Zumba, yoga, meditation, and more. 6) 7 to 8 hours of restful sleep 7) Diet: proteins (eggs, paneer, dal, and pulses) and green vegetables, Fruits with color, Dehydrated fruits. For omega-3 fatty acids, flax seeds
Taking fertility health into account tests for amh levels and specific hormones, such as TSH, prolactin, fasting insulin, and HbA1c, can be performed. To maintain your fertility, you can also proceed with freezing your eggs.

What happens when a Mutual Fund company shuts down / gets sold off?
Ans: Hello;

If a mutual fund company gets sold or fails, the process is prescribed by SEBI:

In case MF company is Sold,
The new fund house may:
1. Continue the scheme with a new name and management.

2. Merge the scheme with similar funds and offer investors the option to exit without any exit load.

In case MF company shuts down,
The fund house will:
1. Pay out investors based on the fund's last recorded Net Asset Value (NAV) and the number of units the investor holds, after deducting expenses.

2. If the company is not in a position to do so then SEBI may liquidate the funds assets and distribute the proceeds to unit holders.

It is also pertinent to note that mutual fund regulation in India is one of the most stringent and hence best, from investor's point of view, globally.

This is not just in theory. We have seen how the Franklin Templeton abrupt closure of debt funds was handled with surgical precision, by SEBI, with no loss to unitholders.


Skin in the game regulation mandates that 20% salary of key mutual fund personnel and fund managers is paid in terms of units of their funds with a 3 year lock-in.

The stocks and bonds purchased by the AMC for the fund are held by a custodian, appointed by the trust that administers the fund.

The trust engages into a investment management agreement with the AMC for managing the fund as per their mandate and within regulatory guidelines.

Registrar and Transfer Agents handle the investor registration,kyc, maintaining records, providing account and tax statements etc.

Happy Investing;
