Is It Safe To Use Birth Control Pills For Mood Swings In Perimenopause State?
Hi! I am concerned about taking a birth control pill for treatment of perimenopause symptoms, particularly anxiety and mood swings, as I am 45 years old and had an aunt who died of breast cancer and a sister who had breast cancer (she underwent a double mastectomy and is cancer free now).

Hi,
At this age any hormonal medicine should be avoided unless it is a must or prescribed by Gynaec.
For your this problem consult Gynaec and get examined.
After examination he will prescribe medicine and if require hormonal treatment.
Ok and take care.
