Birth Control Patch

The birth control patch has been around for a year or so, but I’m sure it was being tested long before it was released for public use. The birth control patch has the same hormones as the pill, but the birth control patch is applied to the skin and only has to be replaced once a week. This sounds good in theory, but there have been some problems. While I don’t know enough about it to comment, I do know there have been some who have had adverse reactions to the patch, and it may be more dangerous than once thought.

I have my own reservations about the birth control patch that really are more practical. These are things that I can’t get my mind around, so I haven’t even gotten to think about the dangers. My mother has recently gone through a period of very bad lower back pain. In an effort to control this pain, her doctor put her on pain patches. These patches needed to be reinforced with extra tape after the first twenty-four hours. I can’t imagine the birth control patch would work any better.

Another reservation I have is the amount of problems one might have with the patch in regards to the release of the medication in the birth control patch. If it is good for a week, how do you know the protection isn’t overwhelming on the first day, but then fades as the week goes on? How do I know this product will work well and keep me healthy at the same time? If you have an interest in using the birth control patch yourself, these are both questions you may want to talk to your doctor about, as well as the other health concerns that have been in the news recently. Remember that convenience should not take the place of safety, and that your health could be compromised if you don’t ask the right questions.
