Serious Health Issues Associated with Contraceptives

Husbands have lost their wives, mothers & fathers have lost their daughters, and many young women have lost their life and limb due to the side effects of birth control pills.

Statistics prove that women taking birth control pills are prone to numerous life-threatening problems, some of which are underreported when the drug company lists the side effects.  The results of such hormonal pills may be acute or chronic and may start with headache, numbness, or pain in legs.

Many cases of blood clot formation as the side effects of birth control pills like Yaz along with death have also been reported.Women that get blood clots may be exposed to many other medical problems besides pain, swelling, and headache. To name a few are enhanced food cravings, problems associated with the menstrual cycle, and more.  Whenever a drug like Yaz, Yasmin, Ocella, Gianvi or BeYaz alter the hormonal balance of the women’s body then the chance for the natural hormones and body processes to react and overreact to the alien hormone exist.

Blood clots may lead to many serious health issues (mentioned below), including death.

  • Heart attack- Blood clot formed in the blood vessels of the heart blocks the flow of oxygen, resulting in death.
  •  Pulmonary embolism- When arteries in the lungs get blocked due to blood clot, it leads to death (if immediate medical attention is not taken) or can lead to permanent scarring and damaging of the lungs.
  • Stroke- Clots can lead to brain damage and strokes as well.  Most strokes are classified as areterial events or ATE’s, although some may be Venous VTE’s or Sagittal Venous Thrombosis (SVTS)
  • Organ damage- Kidney, liver, and gallbladder damage.

If you or your loved one notices any side effects (from taking birth control pills) like pain, swelling, bumps, or numbness in the body, it is essential to immediately seek help from a physician. Hopefully, your symptoms will be acute and disappear, but your doctor should then assess whether you’re a suitable candidate to continue with birth control. If, heaven forbid, you have a permanent injury from your birth control, such as a blood clot, or you have lost a loved one, you should speak with a lawyer to fight for your rights. Before choosing a lawyer to fight for you, make sure the lawyer is qualified and has good amount of experience in handling such sensitive cases and preferably a Yaz Lawyer, Yasmin Lawyer, Beyaz Lawyer, Gianvi Lawyer, or Ocella Lawyer, that has experience winning cases involving pulmonary embolisms, deep vein thrombosis, strokes or death.
