A member asked:
Is it safe to take birth control pills if you have a connective tissue disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It depends on which connective tissue disorder. I ask my patients with lupus to avoid them. The risk is that several ct disorders may be associated with an increased risk of blood clotting. Oral contraceptives increases this risk even more.
