Good morning, as a result of taking hormonal contraception I noticed a very large number of broken capillaries on my legs. I've heard of cases of broken capillaries in pregnancy and they disappear after the birth of a child. Is there such a chance of disappearance of broken capillaries also in the case of discontinuation of contraception?

Broken skin capillaries, also called telangiectasias, can occur for a variety of reasons, including hormones and circulation. Of course, they can also appear regardless of the use of hormonal contraception. Hormonal contraception can affect the body's endocrine system and blood circulation. In some cases, as a result of these changes, there may be an increased tendency to crack skin capillaries. If you have noticed an increased number of broken capillaries while using hormonal contraception, there is a possibility that after stopping contraception, the body may gradually return to the state before hormonal changes are introduced. However, there is no guarantee that all broken capillaries will disappear on their own. If you have concerns about broken capillaries and want to understand what steps to take, I encourage you to consult a dermatologist. The specialist will be able to accurately assess your current situation, suggest appropriate treatments or procedures. If it is not possible to visit a stationary one, I encourage you to use teleadvice via, for example, the portal Gdziepolek.pl: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja
