Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why is my nipple getting bigger and my areola getting darker if I'm not pregnant and my period is early?Doctor's answer:
This situation should be considered as a side effect of taking birth control pills. Birth control pills are synthetic hormones in high doses, which may lead to endocrine disorders. It is recommended to use external contraceptive measures or get an intrauterine device (IUD) and take birth control pills less frequently to avoid hormonal imbalances or liver damage.Irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a vaginal discharge test. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
