Gallstones and Yasmin Birth Control

Gallbladder disease is a dangerous Yasmin side effect reported by women using this fourth-generation birth control. Women are twice as likely as men to develop gallstones. The hormones in birth control pills may increase cholesterol levels in bile and decrease gallbladder movement, which can create gallstones which can cause serious problems if they become trapped in the bile ducts. Laproscopic gallbladder surgery is the most common treatment if women are experiencing frequent gallstones or other recurring problems including inflammation. Following gall bladder surgery women are then are faced with gallbladder removal side effects.

Other side effects including developing a blood clot have been associated with this contraceptive. Pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pancreatitis, strokes and sudden cardiac arrest are some of the more serious problems being linked to Yasmin birth control.
