Health Advantages
Preventing pregnancy.- The combined pill is highly effective if taken as directed. Protection against ectopic pregnancies- This potentially life-threatening condition occurs when the fertilised egg implants and begins developing outside of the uterus - most usually in the fallopian tubes. But because the pill stops you from ovulating, it offers virtually complete protection against this. Lessens your chances of developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) Pelvic inflammatory disease is a profound infection of the fallopian tubes, ovaries and pelvis, and is a major cause of infertility. It is thought that the change occurring in the cervical mucus, may prevent bacteria from 'entering'. Relief from period pain- Many users find that they bleed less heavily and for a shorter period of time with less menstrual cramping. Skin and hair improvement- The Pill is often recommended by dermatologists as a treatment for acne. It also shows a marked improvement in those who suffer with greasy hair. Reduced likelihood of benign breast disease- Protection against ovarian cysts- An ovarian cyst is an abnormal growth consisting of various cell types within normal ovarian tissue, and the pill gives approximately 90% protection against these non-cancerous formations, by causing the ovaries to remain inactive, and therefore less likely to produce cysts.
Protection against fibroid development- Fibroids are small non-cancerous growths in the uterus to which one third to one half of all women fall prey. There is however a 30% less likely chance to develop these tumours if taking the pill. .Lessens the risks of ovarian cancer- Ovarian cancer accounts for approximately 14,500 deaths per year, which could probably be referred to as the most deadliest of the gynecologic cancers. It has been shown that the pill offers a 40% reduction in the chance of developing this deadly disease. The protection offered by the pill would come into full effect after only one years usage, and last for many years. Reducing the unpleasant symptoms of endometriosis- This unpleasant condition, in which tissue from the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) becomes implanted outside of the uterus, can result in heavy painful bleeding. And while there are effective treatments to cure this problem, the pill certainly helps by reducing painful periods.
Possible Disadvantages and Health Risks
Accidental pregnancy- This is obviously more common among those who forgot to take the pill or there was an adverse interaction between a certain medication and the user didn't use another form of protection for the duration of the drug. In this instance, many women are worried about the effect on the unborn baby, if they did happen to become pregnant whilst taking the pill. Evidence does show that there is little to be concerned about, as there does not appear to be an increase in foetal abnormalities of women who conceive on the pill. The onset of pregnancy, would obviously mean that you would have to stop taking the pill. Rise in blood sugar- The changes in blood sugar are thought to be due to progestogen, but the pill doesn't accept the full responsibility of actually causing diabetes. There is however, an increased risk in those women who are overweight, have a family history of diabetes and those who have previously suffered with pregnancy related diabetes. Low-dose pills in this case have the least effect, by producing only very slight changes to blood sugar, thus meaning that they could also be suitable for use in diabetics.
Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)- Atherosclerosis is a condition whereby fat and sometimes calcium deposits build-up on the inner wall of blood vessels, and can lead to some of the biggest killers, including heart attacks and stroke. Smoking and taking the pill is probably the biggest problem here: Oestrogen has the effect of increasing blood-clotting factors in the blood whilst also increasing substances which are responsible for breaking down blood clots, and smoking in this case, will prevent the increase in the production of factors which aid in breaking down the blood clots, thus heightening the chances of developing a blood clot in an artery. Thrombosis (formation of blood clots in the arteries)- Thrombosis occurs when blood vessels are blocked with blood clots, and therefore 'starve' that certain area of the body of food and oxygen. This can be due to the dose of oestrogen in the pill, as it does increase the manufacture of various blood-clotting factors in the blood. Future fertility- Taking the pill will not decrease your chances of conceiving at a later date, however, it could mean that you take a few months longer to achieve pregnancy after stopping. Therefore it is advisable to stop taking the pill three months prior to the actual date you intend conceiving. . As a final point, it would be well worth mentioning, that every woman is different, and therefore each woman would need to weigh-up the risk vs benefit in her own individual case.
