PBCS isn’t a disease that requires treatment. Instead, it’s a group of signs and symptoms that sometimes develop a few months after stopping hormonal birth control. Although unpleasant or uncomfortable, these symptoms are usually temporary and not a sign of a serious condition. Not all women experience PBCS, but those that do may have one or more of these symptoms:
Changes in your menstrual period, like lighter, heavier, or missed periods.
Mood swings or PMS-like symptoms.
Headaches.
Acne.
Hair loss.
Changes in sex drive.
Breast tenderness.
