Yaz Weight Gain

Today, the birth control market abounds in various contraceptives. People may choose the one they consider to be the best and the most suitable for them and for their partners. However, oral contraceptives still remain the most widely used birth control methods for women. And by far the most widely recognized of them is Yaz.

If you haven’t ever heard of Yaz, read this article to the end and you’ll get to know more about Yaz birth control pills as well as about the notorious Yaz side effects: weight gain and weight loss. It is a well-known fact that most women are crazy about their appearance. Thus, the question that bothers practically all of them is: can Yaz cause weight gain? Unfortunately, the answer to this question is affirmative. Among those taking Yaz pills, weight gain is indeed a common issue. Moreover, some women claim that Yaz causes depression as well.

So, how does Yaz work? Yaz combines the ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone hormones, under the influence of which the unwanted pregnancy is successfully prevented. Yaz is also applied in acne treatment and is sometimes used to reduce the manifestations of the premenstrual syndrome.

No matter how efficient Yaz may be, it has a number of side effects, some of which are slight and some of which are quite serious. The most common Yaz side effects are: loss of appetite, weight gain, nausea, stomachache, blood clot risk, strokes, heart attacks, the formation of kidney stones, liver dysfunctions, pulmonary embolism and some other diseases. Though Yaz weight gain is not among the most serious side effects of this contraceptive, it still affects the lifestyle of many women and they feel uncomfortable about this problem. In fact, Yaz birth control pills are not the only birth control pills that result in unexpected weight fluctuations. However, it is marketed as the oral contraceptive of the new generation, hence for those who take Yaz, weight gain becomes an unpleasant problem.

Of course, it is not implied that if a woman takes Yaz, she will for sure suffer from any of these side effects. Still, if you have some chronic health problems, you should be especially careful when taking these birth control pills. Moreover, it is not recommended to purchase Yaz on your own, without your doctor’s advice.

Having arrived at the fact that weight gain with Yaz birth control is quite possible, we may ask quite the opposite question: can Yaz cause weight loss? The answer will be affirmative also, so it is impossible to predict how exactly it will influence your weight. In case you suspect that you suffer the weight gain from Yaz, you should try to change your life style first by sticking to a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol and smoking and getting sufficient physical exercise. If it doesn’t help, maybe it is time to think about another birth control method, and it’s definitely time to think about compensation from the defective pills manufacturer.

If you suspect that your weight gain is connected with taking Yaz, you may assert your rights by filling a lawsuit against Bayer — the company that produces this contraceptive.
