Possible ovarian cancer triggered by Yasmin. You need to know this: The present study suggests that circulating androgens and SHBG levels are *not* strongly associated with ovarian cancer risk, although levels of fT may be associated with an increased risk among women diagnosed at relatively young age. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2007 Jan;16(1):23-9 Free testosterone (fT) Increased levels of estrogen stimulate ***increased levels of testosterone***and androgen (increased body hair). Unlike all the other BC pills... "Yasmin birth control pill is different than other traditional combined oral contraceptives. Though it is combined of estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and progestin (drsp), which has the unique properties than other progestin based pills available in the market. In other combined pills, ***progesin is derived from testosterone*** whereas in Yasmin with drsp, progestin is derived from spironolactone." We need progesin to come from testosterone to prevent ovarian cancer. We have to LOWER testosterone. If you have dry eyes...heads up! And get a pelvic ultrasound. If it shows cysts...while most are benign and common...some are NOT.
