PCOS , is it safe to take hormone pills

2017-09-24 05:58:16
I was diagnosed with PCOS and currently experiencing acne, excessive hair growth body and facial, and slightly overweight. I want to know if taking hormonal supplements whether vitamins or pills would be safe? Will doing so decrease acne, excessive hair growth, etc? Thanks
