Lower back pain is listed as a side effect, although hormonal changes affect it more than the drug. Before the treatment and at the beginning of using Ryeqo, I constantly felt pain in my lower back, which was related to hormonal changes in the body. It took me 3.5 months to adapt the drug to full effectiveness. After that time, all kinds of ailments, whether caused by taking the drug or just the disease and its effect on the body, disappeared. If something hurts, we want it to stop right away, but unfortunately it is not possible. Ryeqo is absorbed slowly, but gives great results after prolonged use.

Thank you for sharing your situation. The cessation of bleeding after three months of using Ryeqo is consistent with the expected effect. Ryeqo usually leads to a reduction in menstrual blood loss or amenorrhea within the first 2 months of treatment.
It is important to monitor your health regularly while taking Ryeqo. Your doctor may recommend blood tests or other tests to assess liver and kidney function. Please note that Ryeqo may affect the results of some laboratory tests, so it is important to inform your healthcare professional if you are taking this medicine.
Lower back pain can be a side effect or not related to therapy, so I encourage you to consult your doctor for a thorough assessment, because it is difficult to suggest a specific treatment method based on such a short description.
Supplementation with calcium and vitamin D is a good idea for maintaining bone density, but it is a good idea to consult your doctor before starting such supplementation to adjust the doses to your individual needs.
