Yaz Problems

Oral contraceptive Yaz, also sold under the names Yasmin and Ocella has recently caused quite a stir due to the increased health problems associated with Yaz. Yaz problems include an increased risk of blood clots and strokes due to the fourth generation hormone drospirenone. There have been no long term studies of this new synthetic progestin hormone and the FDA has indicated that DRSP can increase the level of potassium in the body and cause the blood to thicken. Both of these can lead to blood clots and other harmful Yaz stroke side effects.

Types of Yaz Stroke

There are two main types of stroke that can lead to a permanent loss of movement, brain damage and even death in some instances. Ischemic stroke is the most common type and is caused by a blood clot in the body. This blood clot can form anywhere but if it breaks off, it can travel through to the bloodstream and lodge in the brain. If so, this can cause an ischemic stroke. Ischemic stroke can also occur simply by a blood clot forming in the brain. In both instances, Yaz birth control could be to blame.

The other type of stroke is called a hemorrhagic stroke and is caused by bleeding in the brain. This can occur when small blood vessels become weak and burst inside the brain. This bleeding will increase the pressure on the brain which can lead to the symptoms of a stroke.
