How Long Did You Take Visanne, Was Your Bone Density Ok?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi, i'm on Visanne for 2 years now and my doctor extend a prescription for one more year, which is great because i have no problems with them. It is just, that I'm afraid to take it so long because of bone density. I have a feeling that my bone hurts almost every day now. I'm not sure it is just my pannic or something serious. Is there some kind of an analysis which can check it?

Thank you,

Andreja

You can have a bone density scan. To my knowledge, the risk with decreased bone density is not pain in one's bones, but you should raise your concerns with a medical professional.

Hi, no. I stop taking it 2 and a half years ago. I was scared for my health more than i was worried about endo growth. I was on visanne 2 and a half years. Then i went to holistic doctor, checked my blood, all the minerals and hormones. Started to taking suplements and for now i am ok. Still have some issues but mostly really ok.

Hi Andreja, are you still on Visanne and how was your bone density test? I have been on Visanne for 4 years and the doctor is asking me to stop the medication due to bone density loss. Visanne improved the quality of my life so much so I am reluctant to stop - Chan
