A member asked:

What birth control is best for someone who has pcos?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Oral contraceptive pills: Oral contraceptive pills seems to be very helpful for polycystic ovary syndrome. Not only does it provide contraception and regulate the menstrual cycle but it will also help with hirsutism by binding the excessive male hormones.
