I have been on Yasmin tablet for almost 10 months now. I find the tablets very convenient. Wanted to know if it's going to have a negative effect on my health if I continue to take Yasmin? Also what other contraceptive method is better?

Whether you are trying to clear up your skin , regularise your period s or ease disruptive and painful PMS, keep in mind that hormonal birth control pills which you are taking are only masking the symptoms and are not solving the problem.
Your body is actually trying to tell you something! And these pills are not free of side effects.
The synthetic estrogen in birth control pills can cause short term side effects like GI upset, mood swings, irregular bleeding or spotting.
And even scarier than the “mild” side effects are the serious health risks that accompany birth control pills. These include:
Increased risk of cervical and breast cancers
Increased risk of heart attack and stroke
Migraines
Higher blood pressure
Gallbladder disease
Infertility
Benign liver tumors
Decreased bone density
Yeast overgrowth and infection
Increased risk of blood clotting
Cancer, heart disease, stroke, infertility.
Surely these side effects make birth control pills a less than desirable option for contraception, and even less desirable for masking acne, period problems and pcod.
Good news is that all your problems can be totally reversed , not by masking the symptoms with pills but by addressing the underlying cause of the problem and healing it from the ROOT cause.
Hope it helps.....

It is not going to have a negative effect on your health but if you are on oral contraceptive pill since a long time it is advisable to get a liver function test, kidney function test and also a Pap smear done to know if all is well or not
