A member asked:

What kind of birth control is the most "mild" such as no breast size increase, weight gain, hair loss, etc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pills?: The lowest dose pills have the fewest side-effects in general but side-effects vary from woman to woman and decreasing one side-effect can increase another such as break thru bleeding or skipped periods.
