Is it normal to have abdominal pain and back pain after taking microgynon pill?
Patient: Hi I've been taking microgynon pill for 10years approx, this is the first time I've ran my pill 3pkts in a row, half way through 2nd packet I got a little bleeding but I know that Is normalHowever I'm little more than half way through my 3rd pkt and for past few days I have had abdominal, lower back pain, like period pain but a little more (I don't suffer from period pain etc) feels like cramping then eases off then comes back again , this has been for past 2days but I have no bleeding. Is this a side effect and would I be better just stopping the pill and having a 7dsy break? Doctor: Hello ma'am and welcome.Yes these symptoms are common due to a hormonal change. But if you are finding it difficult to cope with these symptoms, then please report to your doctor for a change in prescription.Hope this helps.Best wishes.
