If you are a woman suffering from low platelets mainly due to ITP blood disorder, you really need to read this article. This article will give you the hard facts about why birth control may be aggravating your thrombocytopenia.

Estrogen aggravates low platelets.

Estrogen is the reason women are 3 times more likely to have low platelets or immune thrombocytopenia. This is the type of low platelets that is caused by an overzealous immune system. The immune system in this case is destroying and killing the platelets. The more estrogen your body makes, the more problems you will have with the ITP blood disorder.

And the problem is that modern women produce too much estrogen and are exposed to many chemicals that tend to mimic estrogen in the body, which makes the whole situation worse.

So if you’re one of those women who has too much estrogen and isn’t doing anything to correct this problem, you may have less success treating your condition with either natural or conventional treatments.

As I always say, eliminate the factors that are aggravating ITP in your body and you will do much better. But people just want to gobble down pills. And this does not always work.

Birth control and low platelets

Well, as you may know, most birth control pills are estrogen based! So you have a really big problem if you’re using birth control and trying to get better with ITP.

Get rid of those birth control pills. Consult your doctor about other alternatives. Remember, your goal is to get better from immune thrombocytopenia, and you will most likely have more problems if you take birth control pills.

I know this is a touchy subject and I’m not here to tell you what kind of birth control to use or that these pills are very bad. All I am saying is that many people aggravate their low platelet problem by using them. And this is not something invented by me. There are many studies that show it very clearly.

Now if you have excessive menstrual bleeding and you are using birth control for this problem, you will find that there are natural alternatives just as effective to control this problem. I can’t go into this right now, but it is something that needs to be investigated further.
