Dear Madam,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Healthcare Magic. I am Dr. Ina. I read carefully your query and I understand your concerns.
While reading your previously treatment regime, I was thinking why didn't prescribe birth control pills in order to balance your
hormonal level because of PCOS.
-Combination hormone pills like
Femilon tablet can be used to regulate abnormal menstrual cycles.
-Despite your dieting ans exercises, it is true that PCOS per se can cause weight gain, and also Femilon could cause slightly weight gain, since it is a composition of hormones that may cause fluid retention.
-Taking under control your hormonal balance, will improve your facial hair.
-As any other medication, Femilon might have some side effects, such
headaches, mild
depression, nausea,
vomiting,
diarrhea, abdominal distention, breast pains and engorgement, tenderness etc. but this are not obligatory to happen.
-After you stop Femilon, you may lose your weight but it may need some time.
- While you are on Femilon, your
pregnancy chances are almost zero, but after you quite it, pregnancy chances are normal, even better than before, due to better equilibrated menstrual cycle.
Hope I helped with my answer. For further concerns or follow up questions, feel free to ask again.
Best Regards,
Dr. Ina
