Problems with Blood Clots

A person taking Yaz, Yasmin, or Ocella may be at higher risk of developing a blood clot due to the effects these birth control medications may have on the body. If these blood clots form, a person may face some very serious health problems. These blood clots can eventually block a significant portion of the blood vessel. Eventually, the clot may restrict most of the vessel, leading to some severe health complications.

The most serious issue for a person with a blood clot is the rapid tissue death that can occur when the tissue does not receive sufficient oxygen. Oxygen is carried through the blood to the rest of the body. The tissue around the body uses this oxygen to continue basic functioning. Without oxygen, the body will essentially shut down. When cells do not have the adequate oxygen necessary to maintain themselves, they will die off. This can lead to some extremely dangerous health problems.

In addition to a lack of oxygen, the buildup of metabolic materials can cause some health issues. These materials should normally be cycled through when blood flow allows for the regulation of tissue. However, the lack of blood flow can allow these materials, including lactic acid, to eventually buildup to dangerous amounts.

As a result of these problems, a person may sustain fatal injuries to their major organs. This can lead to a stroke, heart attack, or organ death.
