I guess it could happen but very unlikely. You need to see your doc.

Even though I’m only 27, I’ve been having hot flashes for about half a year and when I have them I get extremely irritable.

I’ve heard of menopausal symtoms in women in their twenties. You should see your gynecologist and have your hormone levels checked.

Question by I Have Answers: What’s the benefit to taking low estrogen birth control pills?
What’s the benefit to taking low estrogen birth control pills as suppose to regular ones? Is estrogen harmful? Are there more side effects?

The only side effect I’m aware of is that across the board low estrogen pills are more likely to lower your sex drive, curtesy of the famous Dr. Drew, so I was wondering if there is anything else to consider.

Thanks so much!

Answer by Q
Estrogen CAN be harmful–lifetime exposure to estrogen is positively correlated with lifetime risk of breast cancer and uterine cancer. So it’s thought that the lower estrogen pills will be better in that regard. But your risks are still very small, so it’s not a huge difference. Other problems you might have with the low estrogen pills are constipation and dry skin. But all pills affect libido, so you migth want to skip them all.
