A 27-year-old female using oral contraceptives for PCOS died of a heart attack. Was this the sole cause, or were there additional comorbidities?
What are the risks and benefits of contraceptives?
What tips do you have for those taking these pills?

Yes, that news really shook me, but I think PCOS is more of a lifestyle problem - sedentary lifestyle, junk eating, and stress - that might have contributed to the heart attack. Treatments are available for a long time, but problems are increasing day by day, probably stress is a bigger reason than medicine can address. But I’m no doctor; it’s just what I feel.
Yes. Sedentary lifestyle, food habits, and stress could have contributed to the heart attack in addition to contraceptives in this case.
