Yaz Birth Control Liver Damage

Your liver plays an important role in the bodies’ digestive system. It is responsible for manufacturing proteins and blood clotting factors, synthesizing, storing and processing fats, fatty acids and carbohydrates, secreting bile that helps in the intestinal digestion of foods and eliminating harmful toxins from the body. Needless to say, if your liver is not up to par, then your entire digestive system will be out of whack.

Most young women will not worry about the condition of their liver. After all, liver problems are usually associated with the elderly or with those who drink alcohol on a daily basis. However, women who take Yasmin birth control are also at risk for liver problems and damage.

Yasmin birth control contains a synthetic hormone called drospirenone (DRSP). This is a fairly new hormone that comes with serious side effects. DRSP is known to thicken the blood in your body, causing unwanted blood clots. Furthermore, DRSP, combined with estrogen, is known to negatively impact the liver as well as other organs such as the pancreas and the kidneys. When the liver is not doing its job, then your entire body will be negatively impacted. Your body is a complicated system of various connections. If you are suffering from liver damage, then your body may not be able to fight off infections and harmful toxins. You may also not be able to break down the various fatty acids digested which can lead to even more health concerns including infection, heart attacks and obesity.

Liver damage is often left untreated until it is too late. Most doctors will not worry about your liver at a regular check-up unless there is a cause for concern. Alcohol and tobacco are two drugs known to cause problems to the liver. However, Yasmin birth control should also be added to this list, especially in women who already have raised liver enzyme levels. It is important to remember that if you have problems with your liver or kidney, do not take Yasmin birth control.

Anyone who is taking Yaz birth control should be on the lookout for the following symptoms of liver damage:

• pain in the upper right abdomen
• dark urine
• jaundiced in the eyes

More and more reports are popping up concerning young women who have suffered from the devastating effects of liver damage. Liver diseases can include acute and chronic liver conditions, hepatitis, fatty liver, scarring and cancer. If you or someone you love is suffering from Yaz-related liver damage, then you know the expensive medical costs involved in diagnosing and treating liver damage. Apart from blood tests, you may also experience serological tests as well as a liver biopsy. The entire process can be time consuming, stressful and expensive.
