My gyno has me starting low estrogen BC-pills and Iam worried about the pill causing problems with the MVP, especially since Iam 35yrs old. Dear Cynthia, thank you for your question. Birth control pills should not affect MVP, but can increase the risk of venous thrombosis, especially in women who smoke concurrently. I hope you find this information useful.
