I would recommend you to go to your PCP and explain him your concern. PCOS is not a just a matter of those coarse hairs, but of the metabolism of carbohydrates/ insulin resistance balance, your fertility, conditions of your skin, cholesterol&trighycerides etc. Yes,they may help you with a birth control pill, but you may need Metformin,Aldactone and other better solutions.
