How long does it normally take for the body to regain its balance? When should I seek help?

Question

Hello, I stopped taking birth control pills in May 2022. I don't take any other contraceptive (except condoms) and I feel like my body is losing control of my weight, I have gained 10 lbs since then. I eat the same as before and have the same lifestyle. I also had acne in the summer but it seems to have calmed down. Hello, I understand this principle well but I have not changed anything in my habits and I seem to have a hormonal imbalance. (I also eat well) my question is: how long does it take for the body to recover from the pill (taken for 15 years) thank you very much!

Hello, ma'am, Weight gain usually means that calorie intake exceeds the amount of calories 'burned'. I strongly recommend that you consult a nutritionist and physiotherapist to develop realistic eating and exercise plans for you. Most group insurance plans cover these types of consultations.
