Long-Term Pill Side Effects: What to Know

Question
I have used the pill for approx. 10 years.  Could I still be suffering from the side effects thereof 3 1/2 years down the line.  I suffer from irregular periods / spotting / prolonged periods. I have my period more than I dont. Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Angie

Answer
Hi Angie,

Yes, I think you could but please consult your physician. There may be some other cause. Are you using any kind of birth control right now? I would be worried about bleeding more than not. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so we can talk more. Put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
