Yasmin

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ashlynn @ 4:57 pm

Low-dose combined oral contraceptive pills, like Yasmin, are effective and safe. In terms of preventing pregnancy, oral contraceptive pills are much more effective than standard barrier contraceptives like condoms and diaphragms. Taking your pill regularly can help eliminate the risk of unwanted pregnancy.

In the past, the pill contained unwanted hormones that caused side effects in women. Today, oral contraceptive pills contain only a fraction of the amount of hormones. As a result, most women experience no side effects.

There are several additional benefits of taking Yasmin with drospirenone, including:

  • Reduced pain during menstruation
    Most women find periods become less painful and more manageable.
  • Reduced blood loss during menstruation
    If you suffer from heavy periods, Yasmin can also help by making them much lighter and easier to cope with and prevent problems associated with heavy blood loss (For example, iron deficiency).
  • More regular cycle
    Yasmin regulates your menstrual cycle so that you know exactly when your period will come every month.
  • Reduced PMS symptoms
    Many women find that especially Yasmin significantly reduces symptoms associated with pre-menstrual syndrome like bloating, water retention, tender breasts and stomach cramps.
  • Reduced risk of ovarian and womb cancer

What is Drospirenone?

Drospirenone is a synthetic hormone that mirrors the behavior of the progesterone hormone your body produces during menstruation. The major function of the progesterone hormone is to remove the water that is retained by your body during your cycle. This new synthetic agent is the first to mirror natural Progesterone in the way it combats water retention.

All modern contraceptive pills are extremely safe and effective at preventing pregnancy, but only Yasmin reduces the amount of water retained by the body during menstruation. Retaining water can cause:

  • Weight gain
  • Bloating
  • Decrease in energy
  • Tender breasts

By taking drospirenone, you will retain less water, drastically reducing your discomfort that can make you feel so uncomfortable in the second half of your menstrual cycle.

    Allergy season is coming up fast

    Filed under: Uncategorized — Ashlynn @ 4:12 pm

    An allergy is a hypersensitivity to a foreign substance that is normally harmless. If you are allergic to a substance, the result is usually a violent reaction like a skin rash or nasal drip. An allergic reaction is how the body tries to get rid of the foreign substance. Typical allergic reactions are hay fever, asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema and other skin rashes, drowsiness, CFS, hyperactivity in children, and ear infections.

    Allergies affect more than 20% of the population.

    The most common allergy is a “Type1” allergy. If an allergen encounters a cell that can produce antibodies, the cells will produce IgE antibodies. These antibodies bind to the surface of the cell. When the bond is formed, cells begin to produce mediators (for example histamines), that cause an allergic reaction.

    Almost any substance can be an allergen (foods, pollens, dust, mold), but as many hay fever sufferers know, the arrival of Spring marks the beginning of allergy season. Wind, rain and temperature all affect pollen counts. Rain washes pollen down before it becomes airborne. Wind transports the pollens through the air, elevating allergy symptoms.

    You can take a few simple precautions to help reduce your exposure to molds and pollens. For example:

    • Close your windows at night to prevent pollens and molds from entering your house.
    • Close your car windows when driving.
    • Use an air conditioner and dehumidifier to keep air clean, cool, and dry.
    • Minimize outdoor activity on days when the pollen count or humidity is high
    • Avoid hanging sheets or clothing out to dry.
    • Take a shower after spending time outdoors to remove pollen and mold that may be on your skin and hair.

    Allergy relief is available in both over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications.
