A reader asks:
I have found that taking birth control pills makes my symptoms worse. Is there any further information on this?
We found no authoritative resources on this subject at PubMed, nor do we recall any anecdotal reports one way or the other. But anything can be a trigger for Meniere’s Disease symptoms for any particular patient. Our guess is that, like all things Meniere’s, some patients have no problem with birth control pills, and some patients do. If it’s a trigger for you, then it’s a trigger for you, no matter what “it” is. Read more about triggers at the MenieresInfo.com Triggers section on the Treatment Page.
