Is it safe to use Yasmin long term?

2025-07-18 16:04:47
I started the Yasmin pill from Oct 24 for management of PCOS symptoms like irregular periods, period pain , cystic acne and hirsutism. I experienced no side effects from the pill and my symptoms are managed really well. I want to continue to use the pill for another 5yrs or so. Please advise if I should continue or not, and if I can what precautions and tests should I take to keep check. PS : I have no hypertension, diabetes, migraines or any other comorbidities.
