Hi doctor, my wife is on oral contraceptives (loette) which was suggested my a gynecologist. She has been taking it for around 4 years now. We need to stop it because as soon as she stops the medicine she gets her periods. She is also having hair loss issue. Is it because of the medicine? Can we stop the medicine completely? Please suggest. Her age is 30 years. Please help.

Get her thyroid levels checked in addition. If this side effect is very severe, she can switch over to yasmin or dronis. If you don't want to take oral contraceptive, you have the options of copper t, injectable contraceptive or if family is complete, tubectomy or vasectomy.
