Suggest Treatment For Pain In Lower Abdomen

I am 21 years old.. I just started Smoking Last year and have recently started my birth control again (tri-cyclen low 21 mg) I was taking it unaware that smoking is dangerous while on birth control... Today when I opened my 2nd month I realized the non smoking label on it and now I am worried about my health... I smoke about 5-6 cigarettes a day but have recently discovered an increase in my blood pressure. How high are my risks?

Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Immaterial of the timing of smoking , I would advise you to quit smoking permanently as this could cause severe complications in all the systems of your body, and also for the fetus when you conceive any time in future. The increase in your blood pressure is also a tell tale evidence of the effect of smoking. In case of non stoppage of smoking, one runs all the risks of damage to any organ systems in the body including problems in fertility. So you are the best judge to decide what is good for you, and then act wisely.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in clearing further doubts on this. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you could leave smoking for nobody, but for your own and your family health. Dr Shareef.
