Recommendations for OBGYN?

Hello everyone,

I've been struggling with PCOS since highschool and only had myself checked up until 4 years ago. And so far, with my experiences so far with OBYGNs (I have two so far), it left me hopeless and honestly just traumatized. All they do is prescribe me birth control pills. And I'm getting tired of it. They don't advise me anything else even if I asked..

But I really want to have myself checked up again. I've been taking YAZ pills for 1 year and almost a half now and while it's been great, I think it's starting to mess me up. I gained a bit of weight, my cramps have started to hurt real bad again, and now, I've been spotting/bleeding super minimally for almost a week straight when I'm not supposed to.

Please help me give some good clinics with really compassionate OBGYns, who will listen to my concerns and actually offer me other alternatives than just ask me to take pills forever. Please. It's destroying my mental wellbeing :(

I'm from QC but willing to go as far as Makati, Manila..I just want a doctor to actually listen and educate me properly and help me thrive.

Thank you!!!
