What is the best birth control for pcos to control androgens and not cause to be very emotional?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amy OCP: The first line treatment for pcos is cycle control and ovarian suppression with cyclic hormones - usually with ocp's (or nuva ring or Ortho Evra patch). Suppression of the ovaries will eventually result in a decrease in circulation testosterone levels.
