Are Constant Cramping With Headaches And Loss Of Appetite Normal When Birth Control Pills Are Stopped ?
I do have a question. I stopped taking my birth control pill over a month ago and I know there are some side effects with that. However, I have constant cramping. Not too painful but noticeable. I also have headaches that will not subside and loss of appetite. I am very emotional and irritable. Is this all normal??
Hi, It is true that after stopping hormone contraception, some disturbance is observed, but, it does not persist for days together. Your symptoms point to general ill health and hence, I would suggest an evaluation by a general physician. This should be followed by a pelvic examination along with an abdominal sonogram, complete blood picture, urinalysis to exclude infections. Please maintain a healthy weight and a healthy diet. Regular exercise along with meditation helps to control the irritability. Hope this helps.
