Women health tips: A report has revealed that hormonal contraceptive pills, especially the risk of cryptogenic stroke may be three times higher in young women using estrogen and progestin combination pills. Cryptogenic stroke is one that has no clear cause and it causes cases of ischemic stroke up to 40% in young adults.
Contraceptive pills may increase the risk of stroke
Despite this increasing health threat, the risks of strokes associated with contraceptive drugs have not yet been noticed. This study has been done by Doctor Mine Sejgin and his team of Istanbul University. He said that this research shows that birth control pills can increase the risk of stroke, and this danger remains even when the rest of the risks are also taken into account. From this it seems that it may have genetic (hereditary) or some other reasons inside the body.
Research involved 268 women
This research included 268 women aged 18 to 49 years, who had a cryptogenic stroke. They were compared to 268 women who had never been stroke. This research was done in 14 medical centers in Europe. Doctors say that women who are already patients of heart or veins or who have a history of stroke, must consult a doctor before taking birth control pills.
What did the doctors advise?
Dr. Sejgin said that this research will motivate doctors and women-both of them to take a thoughtful decision on the use of anti-vaginal pills, especially when the woman has any health problems in advance. Researchers will now try to further find out why the hormone contraceptive pills increase the risk of stroke, so that the and hereditary (genetic) causes inside the body behind it can be better understood. This report was recently introduced in the European Stroke Organization Conference 2025 in the city of Helsinki, Finland.
