Vaginal Infection & Birth Control Pills
Although medically documented and confirmed by women who use birth control pills, a forgotten side effect is the susceptibility to persistent vaginal yeast infections.
Many factors can contribute to a yeast infection, including stress, improper nutrition, inadequate hygiene, douching, over-exertion, bacteria, addiction to sugar, antibiotics and other drugs, a lowered immune system, synthetic undergarments, and allergic reaction to spermicides, latex condoms or sperm.
Women who use birth control pills and Progestin are more likely to develop a yeast infection because these drugs promote the activity of the enzyme D5D. Normally this enzyme synthesizes Arachidonic Acid (AA) from fatty meats, dairy and vegetable oils. But when there are too many AA, the body activates another enzyme to reduce the AA by converting them to Prostaglandin E-2.
If a woman’s liver is not strong enough to detoxify Prostaglandin E-2, the result is a hormonal imbalance that renders the vagina highly prone to infection. Herbal formulas can help strengthen the liver’s ability to detoxify and maintain hormonal harmony.
