Is breast pain when taking Axia Conti tablets a normal phenomenon? I know that this is one of the side effects, but I am puzzled by the fact that this pain intensifies every evening and in the morning it is almost imperceptible. If it matters, I take the tablets at 5-6 p.m. I also feel more pain in my left breast than in my right. Is this a sign of side effects? I would also like to know if the pills work with such side effects? Please answer.

Breast pain when using hormonal contraception is a relatively common and usually harmless side effect. Hormones in contraception, such as estrogen and progesterone, can affect breast tissue, leading to swelling and soreness.
Some women may experience this pain more intensely when starting to use contraception, especially in the first few months before the body adjusts to the new hormone levels. In most cases, this pain decreases over time.
If your breast pain is very severe and does not go away, or if you notice other worrying symptoms such as lumps in the breasts, discharge from the nipples or skin lesions, you should consult a doctor. This may be a signal that you should adjust the dose of hormones or choose a different type of contraception. In addition, you can perform a breast ultrasound to see if everything is okay.
