Could Lead To Muted Orgasms & Painful Intercourse, Says Study
Women who use contraceptive pills may lose their sex drive up to a year after they stop taking it, says a study.
Loss of libido, muted or non-existent orgasms and painful intercourse have long been known as side effects of the pill. A previous research had, however, suggested a woman’s sex drive could return to normal within four weeks of disconnection.
But the seven years study by researchers led by Dr Claudia Panzer, an endocrinologist in Denver, Colorado shows that a chemical produced by the pill to stop ovulation continues to suppress testosterone levels- central to desire in men and women – for up to a year after women stop taking it, says study.
Women on the pill had four times the level of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), which stops testosterone from circulation in the body, as those who had never taken the pill, it said.
The research published this month in the Journal of Sexual Medicine was based on 124 premenopausal women attending a clinic for sexual dysfunctions.
Half the women had used the pill, 39 had stopped using it and 23 never taken it. Scientists measured their SHBG levels every three months for a year.
“It is important for physicians prescribing oral contraceptive to point out to patients the potential sexual said effects,” Panzer said. However a spokeswoman for Britain’s Family Planning Association urged caution in interpreting the findings. “It is difficult to quantify what a person’s sex drive is,” she said.
She added: “It may be influenced by a range of lifestyle factors. Whether you are stressed, what you have eaten or how much you have drunk can all affect your sex drive. Whether you have children and what ages they are can also have an effect. Our problem is none of these factors was quantified in this research.”

When You Need The Services of a Denver DUI Accident Attorney
In a densely-populated area like the Denver metro region, car accidents are almost inevitable, which keeps Denver accident lawyers busy. Perhaps their caseloads would be lighter if more drivers were careful and considerate of others, but that unfortunately is not the case very often. You may be injured and your vehicle damaged through no fault of your own; if this happens, you’ll need to contact a Denver accident lawyer as soon as possible.
What About Insurance?
If insurance companies were always honest and did right by their policy holders, the services of Denver accident attorneys would not be needed nearly as often. Unfortunately, while insurers are quick to collect premiums, they are often slow to pay ? or attempt to avoid paying altogether. It is why victims anywhere usually require representation by a qualified auto accident lawyer; Denver is no different from the rest of the country in this respect.
There is another reason to quickly hire an accident attorney. Denver and Colorado law provides for a ?statute of limitations,? which means you must file a claim within a certain amount of time or lose your right to do so. A Denver accident attorney can advise you on this.
Can I Afford It?
It can be costly to directly hire an auto accident attorney. Denver working people in need of such representation will thus be glad to know that in most cases, such representation by a skilled and experienced Denver accident attorney will cost them nothing out-of-pocket. In fact, you can usually have your case evaluated for free by an auto accident attorney. Denver-area legal professionals will determine the merits of the case, and if it is a strong one, take the case on a contingency basis. This means your Denver accident attorney is paid from a percentage of the court’s award (generally around 33%).
How Can I Benefit From The Services of an Auto Accident Lawyer?
Denver accident victims’ attorneys first attempt to negotiate an out-of-court settlement. Usually, the case ends at this point. If this fails however, the case goes to trial. When successful, your plaintiff’s lawyer can get you compensation for medical bills, damaged or lost property, loss of wages and even pain and suffering. In addition, if you have questions about your own rights and responsibilities, these concerns can be addressed by an accident attorney.
Denver Accident Victims Take Note
It is vital that you do not sign any documents presented to you by an insurance adjuster before consulting with a Denver accident lawyer. By doing so, you may be signing away your rights. Make certain you have a Denver accident lawyer looking out for your interests before you sign or even talk to anyone.
