I'm worried about the side effects of taking birth control pills. How long after taking them can I find out if I'm pregnant?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Common adverse effects of contraceptive pills include nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes, weight gain, and increased risk of blood clots, stroke, and high blood pressure; to confirm pregnancy, a home pregnancy test (HPT) can detect hCG hormone levels 7-10 days after conception, with accuracy increasing 2-3 days after a missed period, while a blood test can detect pregnancy 6-8 days after conception.

I'm experiencing an odd itching feeling inside my cervix, especially after I pee. It feels like there's something else that needs to come out, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Could this be a sign of something I should be worried about? What could be causing it, and what should I do to get some relief?
The symptoms you're describing, including tickling, itching inside the cervix, and a sensation of incomplete urination, could be indicative of a cervical or urinary tract issue, such as cervical inflammation, vaginitis, or a urinary tract infection (UTI); consider consulting a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis to determine the best course of treatment.
