Severe Hair Fall After Taking Contraceptive Pill. Prescribed Medication For 3 More Months. Advice?

Hello doctor,

I was talking yamini contraceptive pills for 4 months(5 packs). Now I stopped taking those pills and don't want to continue as I am suffering from serious hairfall. My doctor is asking me to continue the medication for next 3 months and i don't know what to do. I have to plan a baby in Jan or Feb. Please advice.

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for posting,

It depends on how serious the hair fall is and if actually severe, then it is best you discontinue the contraceptive for an alternative. They are numerous hormone based oral contraceptive that can play the same role and allow you to give birth when the time comes.
I suggest you go back to your doctor and discuss about the side effect if actually the yamini is responsible.

hope this helps
