Recently, someone reached out to me privately to ask for my opinion on birth control and rheumatic diseases. As a woman with a rheumatic disease, this question made me think a lot. While there is a lot of information available online, it can be overwhelming and confusing. In my opinion, the best course of action is to trust the advice of your rheumatologist and gynecologist. These two doctors can work together to recommend the best birth control option for you that won’t exacerbate your condition or cause additional health problems.
If you have any personal opinions or experiences you would like to share, please feel free to comment. I would be happy to hear your thoughts.
Wishing you all a flare-free week.
