Contraceptive: Birth-control pills are almost always a good idea in pcos patient who r not actively trying to conceive. Like you're on the pill, you should work on wait if that is an issue. You should have some blood test such as testosterone monitored as well as your glucose levels.

PCOS Treatment: Treating the symptoms with birth control pills will lessen the problems you may have now such as the excess hair growth, acne, or weight gain that is associated with pcos. It will also lessen the risk of long term effects related to pcos such as the excessive bleeding, ovarian cysts, and endometrial hyperplasia that can occur. The effects are the same whether or not you are a virgin.
