Control Pills - Choose Which Suites Your Health

Women of a "certain" age will remember when
it was not easy to obtain birth control pills. Doctors were reluctant to prescribe them, especially to young women. Society was reluctant to even talk about them for fear that access to birth control would encourage promiscuity.

When you did finally get your first birth control pills, there were only one or two kinds to choose from. And the hormone dosage was much higher than it needed to be.

Thank heavens birth control pills and products are changing. We now have greater choice, convenience and safety.

Birth control pills remain one of the most effective ways to prevent pregnancy, with less than 1%
failure rate when used correctly (compared to condoms at 3%, diaphragms at 6%, spermicide 6% and sponges 9%). Only hormone implants show a lower failure rate than the pill.

So let's look at some of the innovations to birth control pills that women can now choose from.

Birth
Control Favorite: Yasmin Yasmin is a new form of the birth control
pill. Yasmin is 99% effective in blocking unwanted pregnancy and has been known
to offer many other additional benefits. Yasmin is a combination birth control
pill that contains two hormones, an estrogen and a progestin. They prevent pregnancy
by stopping the body from ovulating and making it difficult for sperm to reach
the egg, should an egg be released.

Yasmin Overview
Yasmin (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol) is a birth control
pill. It is the only oral contraceptive on the market to contain drospirenone,
a progestin not derived from testosterone.

Control Innovation: Ortho Evra Patch The Ortho Evra patch has changed
birth control for millions of women by offering greater convenience than pills
and many other forms of contraception.

With Ortho Evra, you only have
to apply a patch once a week for pregnancy prevention. The Ortho Evra patch
boasts a high rate of effectiveness, similar to birth control pills, but easier
for many women to manage with less chance of missing a dose.

Control Innovation: Seasonale

One of the latest innovations
has been the arrival of Seasonale, an extended-cycle birth control pill with
similar ingredients to other pills but taken for 12 weeks straight, dramatically
lengthening the menstrual cycle.

This reduces the number of periods
a woman has from 13 a year to just four – a wonder drug for many women who
suffer from painful, difficult periods.

Birth
Control Innovation: Plan B Then there's the so-called "morning after"
pill, or Plan B. When taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex, Plan B can
prevent pregnancy with a high level of reliability. By taking just two tablets
as directed and within the time frame prescribed, a woman can prevent pregnancy
after the fact.

Plan B has
prevented many unwanted pregnancies due to unprotected sex or failure of birth
control methods, for example condom breakage.

to attain FDA approval as an acne treatment. With its combination of two low-dose
hormones, Ortho Tricyclen not only prevents conception but also helps clear
up problem skin.

Borth
Control Magic: Alesse Alesse (levonorgestrel
/ ethinyl estradiol) is a birth control pill taken daily to prevent pregnancy.
Like other birth control pills, Alesse works by preventing ovulation, meaning
an egg is not released and therefore cannot be fertilized by sperm. It also
causes other physical changes that inhibit conception.

Birth
Control Pill Side Effects Although great strides have been made in
producing safe, effective birth control pills, there are still side effects
and warnings. Birth control pills should NOT be taken by women who smoke,
especially women over age 35, because it increases their risk of stroke and
heart attack.

Nor should
any birth control pill be taken by women with blood clots, certain cancers,
a history of stroke or heart attack, and women who are pregnant.

There are
also some drug interactions that affect how well birth control pills work,
which your prescribing doctor will take into account.

Serious
side effects from taking birth control pills are uncommon. The more usual
ones result from the progestin component and include symptoms like fluid retention,
breast swelling and tenderness, break-through bleeding and spotting, and acne.
These symptoms often go away as your body adjusts to the pills.

(Research
shows that norgestimate, a newer progestin found in Ortho Tricyclen, may be
less likely to cause unpleasant side effects than other formulations.)

Birth
Control Pill Benefits The birth control pill offers advantages to women
beyond safe and reliable contraception. In many women, the pill also:

reduces cramps and menstrual flow,

regulates the menstrual cycle,

provides some protection against breast and ovarian cysts,

is associated with decreased rates of ovarian and endometrial cancer,

reduces risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, benign breast disease and
iron deficiency anemia.

Talking
to your doctor about birth control is the first step towards deciding whether
the benefits outweigh the potential side effects and which birth control pill
is the right choice for you.
