Pelvic Pain & Birth Control Patch: Understanding the Connection


Question
hi i have been on the birth control patch for over a year and ever since i have got on it, i have been having really bad pain in my pelvic area. Sometimes when it hits, it hurts so bad that i am doubled over and cant move bc of the pain and i don't know why. I went for an ultrasound to see if i had any cysts about 8 months ago and they told me that I was fine. But im not, I should not be in this much pain. PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!

Answer
Why would you keep taking something that is causing you so much pain?  For a year?  If there is a direct correlation between starting the patch and the pain and if there is no other thing to eliminate from your life that might have brought this problem on - the logical and reasonable thing to do is to quit taking it.  

the pill, the patch, the shot; none of them have any health value at all.  They interfer with health and cause serious problems.  There is no compelling reason to take it.

Stop it as soon as your next period starts and never start up again.
