Q: can birth control pills cause frequent urination, nausea, dizziness l found on a website that these pill cause water retention.is it true?

UTI &amp; low dose pills: The urinary frequency may be due to a urinary tract infection(UTI) unrelated to the use of the pill. Low dose contraceptives do not produce dizziness nor water retention. Nausea can be a problem if the pill is taken on an empty stomach in some individuals. Have a MD evaluate you for a UTI.
