A member asked:

Will taking the plan b pill make my girlfriend's pcos worse? i'm not talking about the symptoms, but the actual disease. thank you

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hi, I'm a 20yo woman with PCOS. My only symptom is that I rarely get my period. My doctor is adamant that I need to take a progestin pill ten days each month to induce a period, even though I don't ever plan on getting pregnant. Why?
