Hello, I am 20 years old have been prescribed microgynon. I do not consider myself extremely over weight but I am packing extra weight. I smoke about 10 cigarettes a day and have a family history of breast cancer. I am VERY worried about the side effects. Is this the right pill for me? Should I ask for a change?

Does Intake Of Microgynon Cause Weight Gain?
Hello, It varies. Mostly, oral contraceptive pills lower the amount of hormones and lower weight. They are often helpful in polycystic ovarian syndrome for this reason. There is a risk of blood clots and these can be fatal. This is increased with overweight, lack of activity and smoking. Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr. Matt Wachsman
