Can Birth Control Pills Cause Papilledema In A Teenager?

We are quite sure that my 15 year old daughter has papilledema and we realize that it can come from problems with her birth control pills which she did have a short while ago. What type of papilledema is usual from birth control problems and what is the usual handling?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it may not be papilledema and without the ophthalmic examination it can be confirmed second medicine can not create this what the medicine your daughter has taken, it could be just your doubt and not the clinical finding to clear the doubt better to see the ophthalmologist, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
