Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Since birth control pills are hormonal in nature, it needs to be taken regularly. If it is taken irregularly, it would amount to disturbance in the secretion of hormones in the body normally and can cause its disturbances.
However, it does not amount to affect inflammation directly.
In case you have disturbance in the menstrual period, it needs to be regularized by intake of such pills as prescribed.
Kindly follow the medications that needs to be taken as scheduled.
hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
