Suggest Treatment For Hives While On Femilon
Question: Hi, I am 26. I have been taking femilon since 1.3 years. But since last 4 months i am suffering from hives and on doing blood test my T4 and TSH levels are high. Is Femilon causing the thyroid problem? If i have to stop taking Femilon what are the necessary precautions i have to take?
Brief Answer:
consult endocrinologist, opt for other contraceptive method
Detailed Answer:
Hi there, Dr. Purushottm Neurgaonkar welcomes you to HealthcareMagic VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
1. First of all do not panic.
2. In your case , thyroid hormone levels need not be deranged due to the Femilon pills that you are talking.
These are low dose oral contraceptive pills. They shouldn't be a cause for the changes in thyroid hormone levels.
Please consult endocrinology expert about your thyroid hormone levels.
3 . If you want to stop oral contraceptive pills then you need to opt for other contraceptive method options.
You can simply ask your partner to use barrier contraceptive method like condom, regularly with proper wearing of the condom.
Secondly, you can get Copper T or hormone containing IUD inserted.
Please feel free to communicate again if need be.
I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
