Do you know all the side effects of the pill?
While many of the side effects of the pill are mild, and some women don’t report any, they can also be very serious. A recent article in the Huffington Post provides a firsthand account of one woman’s struggle with deep vein thrombosis, one of the serious side effects that the pill brings with it.
Abnormal blood clotting, the kind seen in conditions like deep vein thrombosis, is an uncommon side effect of the pill, but for women on the pill for non-contraceptive reasons the risk may not be worth it.
Many of the common symptoms that lead women to the pill in the first place can be addressed by holistic health care. Issues like acne, painful periods, moodiness and irregular periods are all signs of an underlying hormonal imbalance. Lifestyle factors like diet and especially stress can throw your hormones off balance. Dr. Christiane Northrup agrees that stress contributes to hormone imbalance and related conditions like heavy periods.
Dr. Marina Rose has helped many women struggling to cope with hormone balance find solutions and get relief, without the pill, in and around the city of Mountain View, CA.
With a holistic health care approach, you can find the factors in your life that are causing your hormone troubles and address them from the true source without the risks associated with the pill.
