Drinking Yaz Tablets For Mild Hormonal Imbalance, Cycles On Time, PCOS. Can I Discontinue Yaz To Check ?
Hello!
I'm 20 and I've been drinking Yaz tablets for two years and I have my menstrual cycles on time now. The doctor prescribed them to me due to my mild hormonal disbalance (my testosterone was a bit higher than normal and my progesterone a bit lower). He suspected that I had Polycystic ovary syndrome, but he was unable to perform the check up because I haven't had a sexual experience. I was wondering if I should stop drinking the tablets and see if my menstrual cycle would be the same as it is now or should I continue drinking them? Thank you so much.

hi.. you are on oral contraceptives pills for menstrual cycle irregularity probably due to PCOD.. i feel you need not take those tablets for so long... it is given for 3 cycles... along with that try to reduce weight by doing regular exercise..see your gynaecologist and discuss to stop those pills. all the very best...
