Patient's question:
I took some birth control pills later, but my stomach hurt right after I finished them. Hello, what's the reason for stomach pain after taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
After taking oral contraceptives again, experiencing stomach pain is a possible side effect of the medication's stimulation on the gastrointestinal tract, and it is also a common adverse reaction. It is recommended to apply cold compresses to the lower abdomen, drink some warm water, and maintain a light and gentle diet. Consuming foods like white rice porridge, millet porridge, and noodle soup can help stabilize the condition and prevent the intake of greasy, oily, or fried foods. It is advised not to overuse contraceptive medications and to consider alternative methods of contraception (e.g., wearing condoms).
