During the last stage of the menstrual cycle normally a layer of
endometriosis lining in the inside of the uterus is expelled, known as
menstruation blood but instead some of the endometriosis tissues growing
somewhere in the body causing endometriosis. Endometriosis also reacts
to hormonal signals of the monthly menstrual cycle by building up
tissue, breaking it, and eliminating it through the menstrual period. In
this article, we will discuss how the pill is used in treating
endometriosis.
I. Definition
The Pill normally is prescribed by your doctor to reduce the heavy
period blood for woman with or with out endometriosis as well as in
treating of period pain, or contraceptive purpose ( 21 days on and 7
days off).
II. Effects
In endometriosis, the pill helps to
a) Reduce the period blood flow as resulting in lowering the risk of more developing of endometriosis.
b) Reduce the bleeding by thinning the endometrial lining.
c) Reduce the period pain by inhibiting the hormone prostaglandins hormones that cause the uterine muscles spasm.
d) Shrink the endometriosis and reduce the bleeding of into cysts and
pelvic cavity because the Pill creates the pregnant-like state.
e) Suppress the estrogen that is needed to start a menstrual cycle.
III. Symptoms and Risks
Even though the Pill have its powerful effects in treating
endometriosis, but it also creates many symptoms and risks for women
with endometriosis.
1. Blood clots
All hormonal methods of birth control pose a threat to normal blood
flow.The oral contraceptive combination pill is no exception, it
increases the risk of of blood clots in your legs or on the lung caused
by estrogen in the pill that makes your blood thicker in the veins.
2. Stroke
Woman who takes the oral contraceptive combination pill increases the
risk of stroke caused by blockage of blood flow to the brain as
resulting of high level of estrogen in the pill that reduces the oxygen
transportation as the blood getting thicker.
3. Heart disease
Similar to the stroke, as our blood get thicker, our heart has to pump
harder to provide oxygen for our body cells need causing hypertension.
If our heart has to work that hard for a prolong period of time because
of long term use of birth control pill, it will be damaged causing heart disease.
4. Skin pigment
Some woman may experience increasing of pigmentation of skin that shows
up in patchy and light brown area caused by estrogen in the pill.
5. Mood swing
Some women may experience mood swing while taking the pill, it is caused
by significant changes in your hormone levels affecting the chemicals
that regulate mood such as level of estrogen and progesterone in the
pill.
6. Bleeding and spotting
Bleeding and spotting when you are not scheduled to bleed and spotting,
are very common in the first 6 months of continuous birth control pill
use, because your body has to take time to adjust to the change of
hormone level caused by intake of the Pill. The longer you take the pill
the less bleeding and spotting will happen.
7. Infertility
Some women after coming off the birth control pill and hope to get
pregnant, they may be disappointed. Not only the effects of birth
control pill maybe needed sometime to wire off, our body may never be
able to adjust causing lost of period permanently.
