Brief Answer:
Take oral pills for 3 months

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting HealthcareMagic.

In my opinion, you need to take oral contraceptives for at least 3 months.

Taking pills will help to regulate the hormone levels and also lower androgen levels too.

I would also like to know if you are overweight ?

Your history seems like you have PCOD which is not very evident on ultrasound report but is leading to these problems.

Feel free to ask further.

Take care

No i am not over weight at all. I am 5'3" and i weigh 50 kgs. is it likely that after taking OCs for 3 months the symptoms of spotting and facial hair will return ? Also should i continue BlongF ? why has it been prescribed to me ?

Brief Answer:
Yes will resolve except hair growth

Detailed Answer:
No dear, hairs will stay but new growth will not occur.
Other symptoms will resolve and periods will be regular thereafter.
Continue blong F as before as it is good for gynaecological health
