Many women choose birth control as a reliable option for family planning. However, hormonal contraceptives can cause unintended hormone imbalances. While birth control can effectively prevent pregnancy, it can also disrupt your body’s natural hormone levels, leading to symptoms like mood swings, fatigue, or irregular cycles.
If you are experiencing these challenges—or other hormonal issues—hormone replacement therapy (HRT) could be a beneficial solution to restore your hormonal balance and improve your well-being. By scheduling a consultation with HRT specialist Dr. Edward Jacobson, you can learn more about the link between birth control and hormone imbalances. Greenwich Hormones can help you explore personalized treatment options, such as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, that can help you feel your best and take your birth control with ease.

Symptoms associated with birth control are caused by hormone imbalances and may require adjustments or alternative treatments to address. If you want to understand more about the link between birth control and hormone imbalances, consult a qualified healthcare provider who specializes in endocrinology.
