Many women take the contraceptive pill, and not just for contraception, so are you potentially damaging your health?
Vaginal dryness and discomfort is a fact of menopausal life for many women, but it is best to know exactly what you have and how to deal with it.
Many women at menopause are given either the Pill or Coil to help control heavy bleeding. The effects of these synthetic hormone products can really affect your natural hormone balance.
Are you on the Pill or Coil for menopause symptoms? Users of hormonal contraceptives had a 52% greater risk of having breast cancer according to a recent study from Finland.
Whether for contraception, menopause symptoms, or to control heavy bleeding, women have been given artificial hormones for many years now. What is the price we have paid and how can we balance that?
Synthetic and natural hormones are not necessarily compatible. For some conditions they go together, but you really need to know what you can, and can’t do.
Many women are on the Pill for contraception and later in life to control heavy bleeding. The risks are clear but bioidentical hormones can help.
The Pill has been associated with health risks before, but it is more dangerous for overweight women due to the synthetic progestin (artificial progesterone) it contains.
Birth control needs to be both effective and risk-free but modern methods rely on synthetic hormones such as progestins that mimic the effect of bioidentical natural progesterone, but that can have serious side effects.
For women who have difficulty remembering to take contraception, or where it is not easily available, injectable contraception has been popular but new research shows it carries a terrible risk of HIV infection.
