Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Does taking drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets cause breast tenderness?Doctor's answer:
The combination of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets can lead to breast hyperplasia in women, causing symptoms such as breast swelling and pain to reappear. Breast hyperplasia is a common condition in women, primarily characterized by breast tenderness, sharp pain, and lumps. This occurs due to an excess of estrogen and progesterone in the patient's body, leading to excessive fibrosis of the breast tissue and incomplete regeneration. For patients with breast hyperplasia, it is advisable to avoid consuming estrogen-containing foods and medications, such as honey, drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets, etc.
