Suggest Safe Withdrawal Methods For Yasmin Birth Control Pill
How do I stop taking Yasmin birth control? I experienced huge hair loss when i stopped. I got scared and started it again and the shedding stopped. I really dont want to keep taking it but i dont want to lose all my hair either. Last time the hair loss lasted about 2 months until i took the pills again. Ive been taking it for about 5 years.Would it be helpful if I stopped gradually? like skip a pill after every 2?

Hello
Thanks for asking a question at HCM
I understand your concern and I will be glad to answer it for you.
Yes, you can try taking alternative days and then stop.
Though the hairfall occurs, it will stop after few days. You need not take Birth control pills for stopping hair fall.
Infact you can stop taking them, and consult a dermatologist for knowing the actual cause of hairfall.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards
Dr Chaithanya
