Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
My gynecologist recommended 3 months of contraceptive pills for my PCOD to regulate hormones and periods. Is it okay, and will it make me gain weight?
Answered by Dr. Hossam Aldin Mostafa
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Contraceptive pills are commonly prescribed to help regulate hormones and manage symptoms of PCOD, including irregular periods. While weight gain can be a potential side effect for some individuals, it's not guaranteed for everyone, and many people do not experience weight gain while taking contraceptive pills.
Thanks
