Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history About taking Micrgynon for 10 years and now you are 29. Also have cramps and diarrhea for a year, hence may be least related to the pills. Please consult your Gynecologist for proper advise.
As for cramps and diarrhea, please get the following investigations done.
Tests of stool for 3 consecutive days.
Tests of blood: CBC, thyroid, liver function tests.
Colonoscopy.
CT scan of abdomen.
Clinical evaluation by a Gastroenterologist.
If positive finding is present, get treated accordingly.
If all the investigation are normal get treated on the lines of IBS that is irritable bowel syndrome.
