'For some women, PMS can lead to anxiety or depression, worsening migraines, bloating, breast tenderness, fatigue, labile moods and inability to function and concentrate.”
, leading female health doctor, tells GLAMOUR: “The term ‘post-pill syndrome’ was first coined in 2008 by Dr Aviva Romm in her book. It was based on individual symptoms experienced by women when they come off hormonal contraceptive pills.
“Post-pill syndrome is not a medically acknowledged condition – it still remains a grey area of medicine and current research has not been able to validate it,” she adds. “While there is sadly still no robust evidence to support this condition, we do know that some women can struggle to recommence their periods – sometimes for up to 6 months – despite stopping their hormonal contraceptives.
“Technically speaking, ‘post–pill amenorrhea’ is defined as cessation of periods for more than 6 months after stopping the combined oral contraceptive pill , yet we haven’t acknowledged this as a ‘syndrome’," she says. “We also know that return of fertility maybe delayed after continuous use of Depo–Provera .
She adds: “We frequently give the combined pill to manage very painful conditions like endometriosis which can cause painful periods and painful sex. For some women, PMS can lead to anxiety or depression, worsening migraines, bloating, breast tenderness, fatigue, labile moods and inability to function and concentrate.”Painful, irregular periodsIt's estimated that 78% of men would take contraception, but they fear the potential side effects.
