Mary asks:
What birth control method do you recommend for someone with PCOS after childbirth?

Anuja Dokras, MD,PhD responds

Birth control pills are my first preference as they have several advantages. They make menses regular, less painful and lighter, decrease the risk of cancer of the uterus, decrease acne and decrease hair growth.
