Question: I started lo loestrine fe, I'm in my second month of the birth control and I've had constant migraines and a lump in my pelvic region an inch or so below my hip, I've tried calling my gyno but they haven't returned my phone calls. I just don't know if I have a swollen lymph node or ovary or a syst. Some women have told me they've had them before and it will go away, I've never experienced this before and I'm 24.

Brief Answer:
Migraine is side effect of pills

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1. Migraine is a known side effect of birth control pills.

2. i suggest you stop birth control pills immediately.

3. Lump you describe is unlikely to be ovarian cyst or anything to do with ovary.

4. Please send me a picture of lump so that i can identify what it is.

5. If you do not wish to send picture please show it to a doctor for identifying if its lymph node.

Let me know if you have any more doubts.

Regards,

the lump isn't big enough to actually be seen but it can be felt with little to no pressure applied, I did finally get ahold of my gynecologist and he said I need to be seen in the next 2 days. the lump doesn't hurt or the area around it but it feels weird, a not normal feeling

Brief Answer:
To be observed

Detailed Answer:
Hi

If it is a painless small lump, it could possibly be lymph node. It needs to be observed for a week as your gynecologist rightly said
