Why Am I Having Headache, Bleeding During Sex And Imbalance Of Hormones After Stopping Microgynon?

Hi I m 25 and I have been taking microgynon for 9 years. I stopped taking the pill 5 months ago. I have been getting headaches and an imbalance of hormones. I am concerned that I have recently been bleeding during sex with my partner and unsure what can cause this? Would appreciate some information please.

Hi and welcome to HCM,

The post coital bleeding is most commonly caused by lesions of the cervix. Most common are cervical erosion [infection or inflammation of the cervix], cervical polyps [non cancerous tumors of cervix, cervical cancer [rare at your age]. All of these are diagnosed by visual examination of the cervix by a doctor. So it is important that you get yourself examined. Also get a pap smear test done to rule out any abnormalities of cervix.

An ultrasound will help as sometimes bleeding during sex is only incidental and the cause lies in the uterus like fibroids.
Headache may be due to many reasons. Pill withdrawl rarely causes headaches. Please check to see if you have any disturbances in eyesight, increased stress, also get a blood pressure check as these are common causes of headaches. A physician will be able to help you with this one.

Regular exercise and proper diet with plenty of fruits, low sugars and salt help restore the hormonal mileu.

Hope this was helpful.
