Hi BesTEAs,
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
Apologies for posting this week’s episode a few days late… I was away on a much-needed vacation😌💗 That said, I am soooo back!
Now, how much did you learn about birth control during your sex ed classes at school?
If you had a similar experience to mine... then it must not’ve been a lot!
In this episode, I spill the tea on everything you need to know about different birth control methods, to help you make an educated decision regarding the path you want to take if you’re interested.☕️
As mentioned in this episode, I highly recommend following Dr. Emily Pfender on IG because she does a great job of communicating what research actually says about birth control! https://www.instagram.com/emilypfender
Also, here are all the resources I used for this episode, which I recommend checking out if you are curious to learn more🌟
Dr Sara OBGYN:
@sarobgynBirth control can do many great things besides prevent pregnancy! #birthcontrol #obgyn #iud #womenshealth 1. Many types of hormonal birth control can reduce acne and hirsutism 2. Birth control pills (estrogen + progesterone) if used for 5 or more years can reduce your risk of ovarian cancer by half. 3. Progestins, like a Mirena IUD, can reduce the risk of developing endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus) 4. For patients with Catamenial seizures (menstrually related seizures), birth control that prevents ovulation can prevent seizures 5. Most hormonal methods decrease the amount of bleeding with periods, which helps treat anemia and keeps patients with significant anemia safe.
