Follow on Google News | Women turn to Lady-Comp to prevent weight gainWeight gain continues to be the most common complaint among oral contraceptive users and many women are now turning to the natural fertility alternative of Lady-Comp devices to maintain optimal health and weight.
By: HypePR “Women are turning to the natural alternative of Lady-Comp in response to weight gain and fluid retention caused by their prior use of oral contraceptives,” Doctors continue to hear complaints about weight gain associated with the pill and other forms of chemical contraception. While research reveals that former versions of the pill did cause weight gain, the newer formulations have decreased this side-effect. However, a rigorous study undertaken by the University of Texas Medical Branch, in March 2009, revealed that those prescribed oral contraceptives significantly reduced their normal level of exercise, thereby reducing muscle mass and increasing body fat percentages. It can therefore be argued that the pill indirectly causes weight gain through increased fat depositions or directly, as is the case with some women, in the form of fluid retention. Fluid retention is a common complaint among those taking oral contraceptives (OCs) due to high doses of estrogen. Lady-Comp was developed to promote natural contraception as a means for optimal health. The device offers women a healthy, natural alternative to oral contraceptives and other forms of contraception. OCs are considered to be a burden on the body due to their chemical nature and the fact that they alter the natural status quo of the hormonal system. “There is no logical reason for a woman to burden her health, or her sex life, with contraceptive measures for a full 28 days, when in fact it is only possible for her to become pregnant on six of these days,” said Vale. A recent New York Times article, by T. Parker-Hope, posed the question online: “Do you feel like you gained weight after starting the pill or patch?” A resounding number of women responded ‘yes’, in direct opposition to statements made in the article to the contrary. Many of the women gave figures of weight gain while they were on the pill, and from the time their prescription began, as well as dramatic weight decreases when they stopped.
