There Are Bigger Consequences Of Contraceptive Pills Than You May Know!

Many of you may feel surprised that most birth control pills are associated with an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (also known as DVT). It is a condition when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins of the body (usually in the legs). On the other hand, women that use combined contraceptive pills are at two to six times higher risk than others.

Most common symptoms of deep vein thrombosis include pain, inflammation, redness, swelling, and heavy ache in the affected area. It has been found that estrogen is the prime link between birth control pills and DVT. Estrogen raises the production of chemicals that are required for blood clots to form.

Some of the popular contraceptive pills that are associated with elevated risks of deep vein thrombosis are Yaz, Yasmin, Ocella and Gianvi. However, consequences of these pills are not just restricted to DVT, as it can also cause few other health issues such as-
Pulmonary Embolism

Heart Attack
Stroke
Liver Damage
Blindness
Kidney Damage

Therefore, it is extremely important for all women to understand that using birth control pills without seeking consulting your healthcare professional can produce adverse effects. You should discuss your medical history and risk factors with your physician to know the best available options and you should have a candid discussion regarding those options.

It is all about your health and safety, thus, there is no place for any negligence, and you should go over the facts and the relative risks.  You should candidly disclose your family history, personal history, and whether you travel a lot or smoke, as all these factors could raise your risk of an embolic event.

However, if you or any of your loved one has fallen victim the side effects of hormonal contraceptives, you should  seek legal counsel. Many cases associated with Yaz for deep vein thrombosis have been settled with the help of professional lawyers. You can easily book a free consultation session with your attorney to discuss your case and eligibility to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer.

After evaluating the situation, if your lawyer suggests filing a lawsuit, you can expect to receive a candid review of your case and whether or not there may be likely compensation for your injuries. You also do not have pay any fee unless you win the case, thus you have every reason to raise your voice against any injustice you may have experienced. 

Please keep in mind that no legitimate birth control litigation lawyer will ask you for money up front to litigate your case.  Any person claiming to be calling from a compensation committee and asking you to send in money to receive money is all likely a fraud.  Your possible Yaz lawyer can be researched on peer review sites like Martindale Hubbel or Avvo to see and confirm their credentials.
