Contraceptive pills increase risk of vascular diseases among
women according to research
There are many views which are still being debated on as far
as contraceptive pills and the risks of cardio vascular diseases among women.
Before you pop an emergency birth control pill, one should think again.
Contraceptive medication might be a quick way to prevent pregnancy, but it
increases the risk of vascular diseases among women, say experts.
Doctors say a vascular disease called deep vein thrombosis
(DVT) is on the rise and is linked with the increase in sales of
over-the-counter contraceptive pills. Many people are not aware of such
complications but there are some which might easily be felt.
DVT is diagnosed through a host of symptoms that include
mild pain in the areas of the chest, mild swelling and some pain in the hand
and muscles and above all pulmonary or heart-related complications.
Women who smoke and drink increase their chances of DVT
which is a serious vascular disease where the blood clot is formed in the deep
veins that are the blood carriers, usually in the leg.
As far as human bodies are concerned any amount of estrogen
that is not required by the female body is harmful for her. The pills tend to
increase the hormone level, resulting in pain and swelling caused by blood clot
formation in the veins.

hours of having unprotected sex.
But experts explain how the estrogen content in pills,
produced naturally in a woman's body, becomes the reason for DVT occurrence.

Sedentary lifestyle and changing work culture are some other
reasons behind DVT. Sitting for long hours, long working hours, no exercise, smoking and junk food
