I actually had lumps in my breasts, so I went for a mammography. The results showed no signs of cancer, so the doctor said it was caused by hormonal changes. She prescribed me Efem tablets to take twice a day for two to three months. I have already taken them for two months, but I would like to know if I should continue taking them for another month because I am experiencing side effects from the medication, such as weight gain, fatigue, and gas.
Medications like Efem are frequently administered for a few months to lessen pain and lumpiness because your mammography was normal and the lumps were probably caused by hormonal changes (like Fibrocystic Breast Changes). However, if you are experiencing unpleasant side effects like fatigue, weight gain, and gas, you should consult your doctor before continuing for a third month. Depending on how much your symptoms have improved, they can suggest discontinuing, lowering the dosage, or changing to a safer option.
