Hi Lara,

According to the conventional approach to symptoms management of PCOS, oral combined contraceptive pills are prescribed to:

1- protect ovarian reserve
2- avoid endometrial hyperplasia d/t unopposed estrogen
3- suppress ovarian androgens

Can you explain the idea of "protecting ovarian reserve"..?

Also, how do you explain the statement that there may be a possible return of ovulation after women have used OCOP..?

Thank you so much in advance!

Warmly

The pill cannot protect ovarian reserve. If anything, it can bring menopause a little sooner.
I don't know why doctors say that.
