Has anyone experienced any long-term side effects of BC? I have been on different types of birth control pills since I am 16 (I am 27 now) and recently my period has completely stopped.
I was prescribed for endometriosis. I am not sexually active and I don’t think I will be anytime soon.
Does it really matter for me to take BC forever since endo is not curable anyway? I feel like my gyn just wants me to take it because I have been taking it for so long. My periods stopping makes me feel like this cannot be healthy.
Do you think this can cause any problems down the line?
Long-term use of birth control pills can come with both benefits and potential side effects, especially for managing conditions like endometriosis. Here are some things to consider:
1. Endometriosis and Birth Control:
2. Long-Term Use of Birth Control Pills:
3. Concerns About Periods Stopping:
4. Considerations Moving Forward:
Your health decisions should always align with your personal goals and comfort. If you’re feeling uncertain, it might be helpful to seek a second opinion from another gynecologist who can provide a fresh perspective on your treatment plan.
