NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
The burden of contraception largely falls on women’s shoulders, but a study has shown how the side-effects of taking it can jeopardise relationships.
The list of possible side-effects when taking hormonal contraception is endless, from increased risk of some types of cancer, headaches, mood swings, blood clots and countless other issues.
Of course, contraception also has huge advantages too. It protects from unwanted pregnancy, can help manage conditions like endometriosis, and regulates periods.
But when these side effects begin to impact your love life with your significant other, women can be faced with a difficult choice to change or ditch contraception.
