Best Birth Control Pill For Weight Loss Many women complain of weight gain associated with intake of oral contraceptive pills. There are no birth control pills that contribute to weight loss. Research reveals negligible amount of correlation between intake of pills and weight gain. The hormones, which are the active ingredients of the birth control pills have a certain effect on the hips, thighs and breasts.
Fluid retention results in increased weight. Increases in body mass or fat is not seen. Oestrogen has a direct effect on the size of the adipose tissue, though it fails to affect the number of cells. The oestrogen in the contraceptive pills stimulates the secretion of renin-angiotensin, a substance that causes fluid retention. Rarity in muscle mass increase is seen in certain women on oral contraceptive pills. This is attributed to the analogous effect of certain male type hormones. These effects are avoided by opting for low dose of oestrogen, though other complications, such as spotting is seen.
Generally a trial period with the recommended contraceptive pill is recommended. This is especially recommended, in order to adjust to the oestrogen and progesterone levels in the pills. Please take the guidance of your physician or gynaecologist for further guidance.
