Is Stomach Bloating A Side Effect Of Microgestin Birth Control?
Hello I had an abortion a month ago and now I m under microgestin FE 1/20 And I had sex last week but since last week I felt my stomach bloating. This is the first time that I m under a birth control its just my stress of having sex again or a side effects of the pills?

Hello
Thanks for the query
Yes, Microgestin FE is known to cause stomach discomfort and dyspepsia. Here are my suggestions to you
1. Take Tab Pantoprazole 40 once a day before food for 1 week
2. Avoid milk, milk products, caffeine and alcohol until you are better
3. Avoid smoking
If the bloating still does not improve with these measures I advice you to approach a gastroenterologist
I hope I was of help
Regards
