Wiki User
∙ 18y ago
Birth Control pills contain progesterone, the female regulatory hormone, which has an effect of body chemistry, particularly fat and water retention and the thinning of arteries. An increase in any of these will lead to higher blood pressure. Higher blood pressure can eventually lead to blood clots, especially if one has a high-cholesterol diet. That is why people who use birth control pills should have regular contact with a physician, exercise, and maitain a well-balanced diety and healthy lifestyle.
