Good morning, the doctor prescribed me Axia contraceptive pills, but despite my request, he refused to refer me for tests, because in his opinion they are not needed in this case. My inquiry to you, is it really safe for me to take the above pills without any tests? Thank you in advance for your answer and best regards.

Tests before the use of contraceptive pills are indicated, but not mandatory. It is the doctor, based on the assessment of the patient's health condition, who decides whether it is necessary to order tests. Currently, only some patients starting to use hormonal contraception have tests ordered by a doctor. In most cases, only gynecological examinations are performed – breast examination, Cytological examination, ultrasound of the reproductive organs. If you are concerned and want to perform tests anyway, you can do it in any laboratory fully and make sure that you have no contraindications to the use of the drug. What tests should be done before and during contraception? First of all, these - allowing you to assess the condition of the liver and blood clotting. * liver tests (AIAT, ASPAT) * coagulation factor and if they were not performed during the year: morphology, blood glucose measurement, lipid profile, thyroid hormones.
