Welcome back to EmpowHER. Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) could be hereditary. If you have a close family member such as your mother or a sister that has it. Also, you should use protection to avoid an unwanted pregnancy or any STD's. The fact you are taking birth control pills that will not protect you against STD's and it's not 100% safe against pregnancy either. Your doctor prescribed it as a treatment for your condition. Hope this was helpful?
