Do I need to continue taking pills?
I have pcos, 2 years back when I checked up with a doctor, she put me on pills, I have been taking it since then, everything got back into place regular periods, weight loss, less facial hair but I stopped 2 times in between just to see if my condition has got better or not but when I stop taking pills symptoms returns, excess hairfall, delayed period or no period at all, facial hair and even tiny pimples, so I have to switch back on pills but even after taking it this time it's not much better, I have 2-3 days of periods max and I still suffer with so much hair loss. What should I do?

Talk to experienced gynaecologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
If your symptoms return soon after stopping the pills (even for a month) then it is better to continue with the pills. You should stop it only when you plan a pregnancy.
You should get your insulin level done and take Metformin and Myo-d-Cheiroinositol regularly (if not already taking).
You should also join some Yoga classes.

In conditions like PCOS, medications should be taken on a regular basis to regularise your cycles and control the symptoms but any drug shouldnt be taken for long too.
When did you get your last ultrasound done? An ultrasound might help in furthur management if your last ultrasound was done long ago.
