What to use for leg pain that occurred while taking birth control pills?

I have been taking contraceptives for 8 months. At the beginning they were aidee tablets but I changed them to drovelis, because my calves hurt with them. Recently I noticed that I have very visible veins on my whole legs and when touching they hurt. What to do in such a situation to compensate for it? Does it make sense to continue hormonal contraception?

First of all, it is worth consulting a family doctor. It may be necessary to visit a vascular surgeon and Doppler ultrasound of the veins of the lower extremities. Only then will it be possible to assess the possible risk of thrombosis and check whether it is safe to continue taking contraception in your case. Without expanding the diagnostics, you will not be able to assess it. If you do not have the opportunity to consult your family doctor, you can use teleadvice here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I also attach a link to an article that may be helpful: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-bac-sie-dzialan-niepozadanych-lekow Until you consult a doctor, you can use over-the-counter gels, e.g. with heparin. I attach links to websites where you can compare the prices of this type of products in online pharmacies and order the preparation with home delivery or collection at the pharmacy: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/43890/lioton-1000-zel/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/34739/heparin-hasco-forte-zel/apteki
