- Yasmin Beyond Contraception -
As with all combination pills YASMIN® provides many health benefits beyond protection against pregnancy*:
Milder, more regular periods
Using a combination pill like YASMIN helps with irregular periods, and blood flow during menstruation may be lighter and less iron may be lost. Therefore, iron-deficiency anemia is less likely to occur. Pills like YASMIN also help when it comes to your monthly cycle. You can have shorter, lighter periods, regulate your cycle, and even reduce cramps.
Reduced risk of ovarian cysts
Taking a combination pill prevents ovulation When you are not ovulating, you are less likely to develop benign (noncancerous) ovarian cysts.
Reduced risk of ectopic pregnancy
When using a combination pill, you reduce your risk of ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is one that develops outside the uterus, most often in the fallopian tubes (called a tubal pregnancy), and it can be a life-threatening condition.
Reduced risk of benign breast cysts or lumps
Using a combination pill makes you less likely to develop benign cysts or lumps in your breast, and the risk decreases the longer you use the Pill.
Reduced risk of pelvic inflammatory disease
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a serious infection in the female reproductive organs that is often associated with gonorrhea and chlamydia (common sexually transmitted diseases). Using a combination pill may make you less likely to develop PID than a woman who is not using the Pill.
Reduced risk of endometrial cancer
The endometrium is the lining of the uterus, and it’s where endometrial cancer can occur. Combination pills help to protect you from this kind of cancer. And, the longer you use them, the more protected you are. What’s more, protection continues to increase for many years after you stop using the Pill.
Reduced risk of ovarian cancer
Combination pills help to protect you from cancer of the ovaries, and the longer you use them, the more protected you are. After one to two years of use, your risk is somewhat reduced. After you have used combination pills for ten years, you are significantly less likely to get ovarian cancer. What’s more, you are protected for many years after you stop using the Pill.
* These noncontraceptive health benefits related to the use of combination birth control pills are supported by studies that mostly used oral contraceptive formulations containing high doses of estrogen. However, the same benefits are believed to be associated with birth control pills containing low doses of estrogen.
