Suggest An Effective Birth Control In An Obese Woman

Hi I ve been on birth control going on three years and have been on two different types of pills and gained a significant amount of weight on them. Because of my weight gain I am experiencing really bad back pains. What would be the best birth control with a lot of weight gain. My doctor wants me off of birth control but I can t afford to be off of it right now because I am sexually active

Hello Mam,
I just read your query. See if you have gained too much weight due to birth control pills and your doctor wants to stop them then you can go for other birth control measures like:
*You can choose intrauterine device like Copper T or levonorgestrel IUS. These provide long term and reversible contraception.
*Beside above method there are many other methods like contraceptive patch, vaginal ring, progesterone injection.
* You can choose any of these after discussing with your doctor, but intrauterine device would be better than others for you.
* For increased weight do walk and exercise daily. Have small five meals rather than three big meals. Take fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains in your diet, as all these things will help you in loosing weight.
* I hope you are satisfied with my answer and it would be helpful for you.
Thank you.
