A member asked:
Is any brand of birth control pill safe for someone with a protein s deficiency, in treating pcos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth control: pills do not TREAT PCOS, they only mask the irregular periods. To actually treat the basic metabolic problem of insulin resistance you need diet, exercise, weight loss and many women improve with metformin. Other drugs are useful in certain situations.
