Suggest Treatment For PCOS

Hi, about 5yrs ago (I was 15yrs old at the time) I was diagnosed with PCOS. My cycle have always been heavy and difficult. I ve tried several diffrent hormone treatments and currently am using the birth control patch for the imbalance. Recently my boyfriend has been suggesting that I smoke marijuana to help with my symptoms. Over the past month I have noticed a huge change for the better! What is the corrilation between THC and PCOS? And do you think advances in the medical marijuane industry could help women like me? Thank you

Hello,

I don't believe that marijuana is a treatment for PCOS. You should take contraceptive pills in order to keep ovaries at pause.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
