Lots of women take pills for birth control and they're very happy in avoiding unplanned pregnancy although they're blaming the oral type of contraceptives in gaining weight and retain fluid too. Well, its an undeniable truth, pills are causing women some weight problem, although its not the main cause for weight gain to every woman.
In a research done on a low estrogen or low dosage pills indicates that there's a small change. An added pound when you're taking a pill can happen in just few and not necessarily in such an alarming status. Researchers already points out, a five to ten percent of women who added several pounds when they take pills, however there's the same number on women who gains weight, although its not dependent on a pill. Gaining of weight can be because of retention of fluid in their body and fat deposit.
Is it possible for users of birth control pill to gain weight?
It has been argued upon that an oral contraceptive, most especially the higher dosages, which is more than thirty microgram, causes gaining of weight than the birth control injections including Depo Provera. Research reveals that a woman who uses a high dosage pills gains up to 5.3 pounds per year as compared to those who takes Depo Provera and they gain up to 6.6 pounds within a year. But, researchers found out that 7% of women taking the pills increase up to 10% in weight. However those who takes shots of Depo Provera, there's 25% people who gained up to 10% in weight. If you're comparing 5.3 pounds gaining of weight on pills with a 6.6 pounds gain of weight because of injections, you'll notice, its not only a woman who keeps on using pills are getting less weight than the injection methods, it's a risk of less gain of weight.
Moreover the recent research on a low estrogen based pill, its of 30 micrograms or lesser, they've shown loss of weight or it doesn't change when its taken for one year.
Are those pills causing retention of fluids, is it right?
You really cannot deny that a pill contains high dosage of estrogens and might cause retention of fluid in your body, most especially if this pill contains 50 microgram of estrogen. How does it happen? With a high dosage of an estrogen, there are chances of stimulation of kidney substances including rennin-angiotensin, its responsible in retention of water, which results or causes retention of sodium or salt and ultimately can cause gaining of weight. Research on a different level on estrogen pills shows that a pill having less 20 microgram can reduce your weight, a 30 microgram of pill are not making differences on weights or small loses on your weight on the other hand a 50 microgram of pills can cause retention of fluid and gaining of weight.
When people uses birth control pills and they experience greater than five percent gaining of weight on a yearly basis, it might be because of the person's reaction on insulin or an abnormal glucose metabolisms.
