Doctor Question
I have been taking birth control pills
continuously for treatment of severe
endometriosis since having an
salpingo-oophrectomy (sp?) 2 years ago.
Do you recommend to continuous birth
control patients that they take monthly
pregnancy tests since there is no outward
evidence that a pregnancy does not exist?
Is this something that I should not be
concerned about given my age and medical
condition?
You should know that the product I take is
Yasmin 28. I take my pills as instructed
at the same time every day and I have
never missed a pill.
