Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Metformin decreases androgen levels, which helps to regulate periods. It does not induce ovulation but increases the possibility of ovulation by its antiandrogenic effects. Clomiphene citrate promotes a dominant follicle.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Menorrhagia is defined as regular uterine bleeding lasting more than 7 days with heavy bleeding. Metrorrhagia is irregular uterine bleeding lasting more than 7 days with heavy bleeding. Menorrhea is normal uterine bleeding. Menometrorrhagia is a combination of menorrhagia and metrorrhagia.
