A member asked:

Would a girl suffering from pcos, be alright with taking estrogen pills to fix imbalance hormones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Birth control pills with estrogen and Progesterone are often recommended for women not trying to become pregnant to help regulate the hormone levels and cycle. However, the risk and benefits have to be weighed to see if this is the best option for you. So best to d/w your doctor.
