5 Body Reactions When You Stop Taking the Birth Control Pill

5 Body Reactions When You Stop Taking the Birth Control Pill

After months or even years using the contraceptive pill, the body becomes accustomed to receiving the hormones. When this process is interrupted, the woman's body needs some more time to normalize its activities.

"Because it has female hormones, the contraceptive pill acts to inhibit ovarian hormone production, so when its use is interrupted , the ovary resumes hormonal activity with all its potency, bringing symptoms that go beyond ovulation, "says the obstetrician and obstetrician Élvio Floresti Junior, Floresti Medical Center. Here are the symptoms:

1. Increased oil and acne in the skin

Among the main reactions that occur in this period is the increase of skin oils and, consequently, the increase of facial acne. "These effects are mainly due to progesterone and androgens, which are produced naturally by the ovaries," says Floresti. He further explains that this also happens because some pills contain cyproterone, an effective substance in reducing facial acne. Then, by stopping the use of this compound, the woman may notice a more severe increase in the condition. It is best to seek the help of a dermatologist to alleviate the problem.

2. More colic

"During the normal menstrual cycle, there is the release of the substance prostaglandin, which is responsible for causing headaches, colic, nausea and even vomiting in some cases," explains gynecologist Jurandir Passos of Delboni Medicina Diagnóstica .

However, one of the side effects of the pill is the decrease in menstrual volume. Therefore, when the woman stops taking the contraceptive, her menstruation normalizes and the symptoms may come back to disturb.

3. Dysregulated cycle

The most common pill on the market, composed of estrogen and progesterone, can have its effects reversed with greater ease. "After stopping the pill, the month following the patient's menstruation should already come normal, with variation of about three days later or earlier," says Jurandir. The question, however, may be more complicated for women using the progesterone-only pill known as the mini-pill. "This hormone ends up atrophying important components that produce menstruation, so the woman does not have material to menstruate. Conditions of the uterus can be normalized in up to three months, after which it is recommended to do a more rigorous medical follow-up," says the expert.

4. Libido at heights

One of the consequences of contraceptives is the reduction of the level of testosterone in women. The male hormone is an important factor for female sexual desire. "When you stop using a hormonal contraceptive, male hormone levels increase, improving libido," says gynecologist Ana Paula Marques Fernandes Yoshizumi.

5. "Everything will depend on how the woman's hormonal balance is." Until the body normalizes, she may notice this increase in hair caused by too much male hormone, "says Jurandir. When in doubt, remember how your body was before the pill in adolescence, because the way it should react to the discontinuation of the drug should be very close to that.

It is a fact that most women have taboos in talking to their gynecologists about their sex life.
