A member asked:

Which ocp is best to treat pcos? is there any problems after stopping taking the pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most pills will do: Most oral contraceptive pills will suppress ovulation and subsequent further development of PCOS. There are few if any consequences when the pills are stopped except the resumption of the PCOS.
