How does the rising skepticism towards hormonal birth control influence the management and treatment of PCOS?

PCOS, often characterized by higher-than-usual male hormones, causes various issues including acne, weight gain, and psychological problems. The standard GP advice—using birth control pills—addresses only a symptom (hirsutism) and ignores the broader health impact.
