I feel depressed and gain weight just from taking birth control pills.

These are side effects related to synthetic hormones. If you experience severe edema and mood swings, it is advisable to switch to a medication with a lower hormone content or transition to a non-hormonal treatment (such as traditional Korean medicine).

호르몬제는 간에서 대사되는 특성이 있어 간에 부담을 줄 수 있습니다.

  • 부작용: 메스꺼움, 두통, 유방 통증, 우울감, 체중 증가, 혈전 위험 등이 나타날 수 있습니다.
  • 흡연: 35세 이상 흡연 여성의 경우, 혈전(피떡) 발생 위험이 높아 피임약 복용이 금지됩니다.
  • 대안: 치료가 목적이라면 호르몬제를 사용하지 않는 한방 치료가 훌륭한 대안이 될 수 있습니다.
⚠️ 흡연 금지

피임약 복용 중 흡연은 혈관을 막아 뇌졸중이나 심근경색을 유발할 수 있는 매우 위험한 행동입니다.
