Birth Control Side Effects PDF Print E-mail

Women take birth control pills in order to restrict the size of their families and also get away from the vicious �hand to mouth� cycle of poverty. Some of the women may have side-effects from taking these pills, including nausea, headaches, bleeding between periods, breast tenderness or decreased libido. In such cases a woman should consult her doctor, who can advise her to change her brand to a pill that has a different dose of hormones.

 

Birth control pills that contain estrogen can also increase the risk of blood clots. Women above age thirty-five, and those who smoke or have high blood pressure, have an increased risk of heart attack after taking birth control pills. These pills are not safe for females who have blood clots, heart disease, high blood pressure, severe migraines, heart defects or stroke.

There have been cases of women being prone to greater risk of breast cancer. Doctors also advice that women who have breast cancer should not take these pills, as they might affect the growth of tumor tissue.
