Question:

I need advice about the " pill"?

I'vve used this pill called minerva for acne,i was put on a 8 month course,i used it for 2 more months, i think that it gave me a yeast infection.

I want to know some of ur stories to, I need to use something again for my face


Answers:

Acne and oily skin is partially caused by increased male hormones (called androgens). Yes, women have androgens too but even if its increased, its never higher than your female hormones.

Pills bring down the level of androgens by increasing another protein in the blood that 'traps' these androgens and prevent them from exerting their effect. The changes can only be felt after six to nine months of treatment.

Pills, however, contain estrogens (female hormones). Increased estrogen levels promote yeast infections - as typically seen in pregnant ladies.

Do not worry. Talk again to your doctor. Yeast infections can be easily overcome with medications.
