the magics of birth control pills

BBBBBBBirth control :) topic of the day.....
Here i am.......talking about the obvious right.........no you are wrong........I am going to talk about the benefits of birth controls pills other than the obvious that it can decrease your chance of having a BABEEEEEEEE by lotsssssssss.................
are you READY!!!!! !! YEAH !!!!
LAST YEAR, as a major acne female sufferer .... one of the treatment i received to treat my annoying ACNE is birth control........previous studies have suggested having a hormone in excess (androgen )can cause acne.  This androgen is called testosterone.  WHY? you might ask.... TESTOSTERONE is a hormone in abundance in male compare female.  Testosterone not only can give you more power we normally see in male, it also contribute to sex drive.....  (MY MALE FRIENDS, maybe it is true that you guys think about sex more... but now you can blame it on the hormone :)   Male friends, don't be too happy about have loads of testosterone running in your blood stream to give you more power is a good thing.   One down side of having testosterone running around your blood stream is it can add stress to your blood vessels making it last not as long.  Hence there is a tendency of males having a shorter life span cause their blood vessels get harder faster....contributing to higher chances of having a stroke or brain storm.


You might be asking... why are you talking about testosterone? i thought the topic is about birth control pills........... So testosterone is also found in female, and it is is produce at a higher amount in female during her ovulation period, giving her a higher sexual drive....to try to get pregnant (Our body is always trying to get pregnant to produce the next generation despite our mind might not agree to this :)  Don't blame nature.  But the increase in testosterone, also contributes to a higher oil production.  ( I think this also explains why guys normally are oilier than girls ).  So the higher oil production, if not properly secreted outside pores, as the pores are clogged by dead skin cells, it is the perfect home for bacteria.  and dun dun dun........ here comes the annoying pimples :(...............
haha you might be making a link now for why you get acnes during certain time of the month... smart



So why taking some birth controls help with acne you might ask?? Because some birth controls have ingredient in it that blocks the testosterone acceptors in your body or just lower androgen production overall in your body.  By decreasing the amount of androgen available to function in your body, you can become less oily and hopefully have less acne.  Birth control also regulates female's hormone cycle  making it more uniform.   This is also beneficial for minimizing acne formation.  

On the side note.... the birth control I took that helped to decrease acnes on my face is called...drum rolls please........ YASMIN.......
