What Causes Weight Gain And Low Appetite Inspite Of Being On Rigevidon Contraceptive Pill?
Hi My 14 year old daughter was prescribed Rigevidon contraceptive pill to help with her heavy bleeding and also mood swings. However she has been taking this pill for 4 months and I have noticed she is eating less but gaining weight..sorry let me re-phrase that. her body looks bloated. She also seems to have headaches all the time.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, in my opinion hormone medicine should be avoided in this tender age, if this is the heavy bleeding then such bleeding may be likely and underlying cause of this need to be ruled out for any systemic disease, hope this information helps, take care.
