Can Birth Control Pill Causes Pain In Breast?
I stopped taking my birth control pill over a month ago on june 27th. I got my period then, but have yet to have my next period. My breasts have been hurting for about three weeks now but I do not think I am pregnant. Would coming off the pill cause my breasts to hurt?

Hi
Yes, Birth control pills may cause breast enlargement or tenderness. This normally resolves a few weeks after starting the pill. Incase you find a lump in the breast or have persistent pain or tenderness or severe breast pain,kindly consult your gynaecologist.
Hope that was helpful.Let me know if i can assist you further.
