Periods Heavy, Painful. Get Greasy Skin, Hair, Mood Swings, Weightgain. Best Contraceptive Pill?
hi, whats the best contraceptive pill to take? I get greasy skin and hair, i'm prone to weight gain and bloating and my mood swings are out of control. I have had the mirina coil in the past but due to an 'inconclusive' smear I am unable to have one fitted. I also have just had a baby (6mths), since then my periods are very heavy and painful

Hello
thanks for your query.
As you are having skin problems, weight gain, it is better to choose a pill like Yasmin.
That contains spironolactone which would counteract these effects.
If it is not available in your country, consult a gynecologist for a substitute containing spironolactone pill.
All the best.
