Should I continue the medicines for PCOS/PMOS even after my periods get regular?

Question

Hello doctor,

I was diagnosed with PCOS/PMOS in January so my gynecologist prescribed me Ginette 35 for six months and Bonemac D3 for one month. But from March my periods are regular without taking medicines but there is sometimes slight pain in my lower abdomen and side abdomen. Should I continue medicines despite having normal and regular periods?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If you are having regular periods in terms of flow, duration and regularity and if you have already stopped taking Ginette since March, there is no need to resume its intake immediately unless you need contraception also at the same time or not want a pregnancy now. In that case, you need to use an alternative mode of contraception to avoid your pregnancy.

Please attach your previous prescriptions, blood test, and ultrasound scan reports based upon which PCOS/PMOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome/Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome) was diagnosed. Also, inform your height, weight and whether there is excessive hair in the chin, upper lip, chest, and abdomen. Follow up with reports again. Also, follow the lifestyle modifications described below.
