Can weight gain, irritability and depression be caused by contraception?
I've been taking Liberelle pills for over a year and contraception for more than 2 years in general. During this time, I gained 10kg. Could it be due to contraception? And is it possible that I'm only now experiencing side effects such as irritability, depression?

Yes, weight gain can be one of the potential side effects of birth control pills, including Liberelle. However, each person reacts differently, and not everyone will experience this action. Some women notice weight gain, others do not experience significant changes.
In addition, some side effects may occur after using contraception for a long time, so it is possible that you are now experiencing effects that you may not have noticed before. Irritability, depressive states or mood swings are also potential side effects of birth control pills. If you are experiencing these types of symptoms, it is important to consult your treating doctor. You may need to change your type of contraception.
If you do not have the possibility of an in-person visit, I encourage you to take advantage of the teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
