Why do women with polycystic ovary syndrome need to take birth control pills?

Patient's question:

I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect fertility. I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Why do women with polycystic ovary syndrome need to take birth control pills?

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms caused by polycystic ovary syndrome require timely treatment with oral contraceptives. Contraceptives contain estrogen, which can help improve and treat polycystic ovary syndrome. Maintain a balanced diet and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
You cannot determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy at this time. You can first check whether the blood HCG level is normal, and also do a color Doppler ultrasound to see the location of the gestational sac.
During treatment, avoid sexual activity and strenuous exercise.
