Although some women never experience them the truth is that there are a few Yaz side effects that are worth speaking about because they can be rather unnerving although they are quite benign. And add even more reasons for fear there are also a lot of rumors that are being circulated mostly by people who oppose the concept of birth control. But in order to understand all the effects of Yaz and be able to take an informed decision on whether to use it or not we will need to look at some of how it works and in particular why the physical side effects of Yaz do occur and what exactly they mean.
Most side effects of Yaz happen because the pill consists of a combination of two hormones. Now, hormones are the way the body regulates itself and makes sure everything happens in the proper time. Needless to say the menstrual cycle is regulated by these hormones too so what Yaz does is take over the natural production of hormones and tricks the body. So while in a normal cycle the body would create certain hormones to tell the ovaries to create the ovule and then to also direct the body to eliminate that ovule during the next period, Yaz comes in to simulate the creation of the ovule. In fact that is the reason why you need to start taking Yaz after you have finished your period, because the pill will trick your body into believing that it has already created the ovule. And because there is no ovule to be expelled Yaz also tells the body when it is time for the next period to occur and that it should get rid of all the other nutrients it had been gathering in order to nurture the baby if a pregnancy had occurred. So now that we understand the way Yaz works we can take a closer look at why the side effects of Yaz do occur.
Well, the physical Yaz side effects happen because the normal functions of the body are taken over by an exterior force. That is to say the possible abdominal pains you might experience in the first couple of months of taking Yaz happen because the body is used to a certain quantity of hormones that dictate a certain rhythm and now, the new hormones are imposing a new one which is just as healthy but different. Also your liver needs to learn how to process the hormones that you are taking through Yaz and until it does, that is to say a week or so, you may experience nausea and dizziness. And when you combine these 2 side effects, the body being moved to a new hormone rhythm and your liver learning to cope with a new challenge you can also get fatigue and headaches. Also another natural side effect of Yaz will be the fact that your period will get as perfect as clockwork but that is just because a pill can sometimes induce a more perfect rhythm than the body used to have.
As far as the long term side effects of Yaz are concerned there is a long debate that you need to consider. Some experts say that it can cause cancer other that it can prevent it but the fact is that none of them is actually letting you know that there are many different types of cancer. So while Yaz can cause an increase likelihood of breast cancer it is also a very good counter measure against ovarian cancer. And while breast cancer is one of the easiest types of cancer to find and cure in time ovarian cancer is actually a much more difficult issue. Also just as Yaz isn’t a cure for cancer it is not a cause either. It can help create the conditions for breast cancer but there are also a lot of other carcinogens out there without the help of which Yaz alone would not work. So you really should think twice before considering that cancer is one of the Yaz side effects.
However the doctors who do fear the Yaz side effects do so because the endocrine system, in other words the hormone system in your body, is one of the least know systems. So even though we have developed the science to create the birth control pill we don’t really know exactly how it interacts with the other hormones in the body. We do know that long term studies have confirmed that there is no guaranteed danger that comes from taking Yaz and we also know there are several great side effects. And the fact is that an abortion has far worst side effects on the short term and on the long term than Yaz does. So unless you are prepared to have a baby the side effects of Yaz should be compared with the other side effects of abortion.
And the last of the long term Yaz side effects that is sometimes considered by some people is the fact that birth control pills can lead to sterility. In fact there is no scientifically data to support this claim but in fact it was Freud who determined that when faced with an unknown the mind tends to create associations based on facsimile. That is why even know there are people who think that the rhinoceros horn or the elephants trunk aid with virility although there is actually no proven medical link between the 2. In the same manner because some people are not sure about what the long terms effects of Yaz may be they will have a tendency to impose those superstition creating patterns on what is a fairly clear process. The fact is that Yaz can in no way create sterility and none of the tests ever done on contraceptive pills have ever recorded this in the side effects of Yaz.
