few weeks ago I received an email which tells the sad story of a 32-year-old woman died of a thrombosis allocated according to the narration, the use of an injectable contraceptive . I usually do not waste my time reading this post because most contain inadequate and misleading information, analyzing it a bit but llequé to the conclusion that it could be true.
is proven the link between oral contraceptives and increased risk of both arterial and venous thrombosis, this is mainly due to the estrogen contained therein and is dependent on the dose, ie the higher dose estrogen, increased risk of thrombosis (most contraceptives are composed of two types of hormones, estrogen and progestin). It is for this reason that before initiating hormonal contraception, the gynecologist should know personal and family history of thrombosis and to assess risk factors as smoking (history of thromboembolism in a patient is an absolute contraindication to the use of this type of contraception). However, if you are a smoker and you have perhaps a grandfather with such a history, do not worry, talk to your doctor because there are always options, such as progestogen-only contraceptives have, they have little or no effect on hemostatic variables and do not increase the risk of thrombosis.
With this post I do not intend to frighten users of oral contraceptives, since these are very safe, if taken under medical supervision My intention is to avoid self-medication, not always what is good for the neighbor is good for us.
