Yasmine pill (ethinyl estradiol/drospirenone), it is a combination of two hormones that works by inhibiting the release of an egg during the menstrual cycle
Belara is a modern contraceptive pill containing Chlormadinone Acetate, derivative of the natural progesterone with clinically pronounced antiandrogenic properties, and standard low dose of Ethinylestradiol.
To first note ,all medicines have side effects and especially if used in long term ,but the side effects are differently felt by patients ,some report no symptom ,other reports many side effects and stop the medication ,if you are having your pill from a long time and you are satisfied with it and minor side effects are felt then don't worry you can still be using it ,yasmine pill and belara pills are considered as low side effect combined pills,they are well tolerant by many and gives satisfactions .
however ,these pills may hold a risk for other serious diseases especially if the women has other risk factors ,then the risk will be bigger .
IF you have other risk factors for developing serious effects then better to go for other contraception such as women who smoke cigarettes,use tobacco and are over 35 years old should not use Yasmin because of the risks of blood clots, stroke, and heart attack.
Stop using this medication and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
-sudden numbness or weakness, confusion, pain behind the eyes, problems with vision, speech, or balance;
-chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm orshoulder,nausea,sweating,general ill feeling;
-a change in the pattern or severity of migraine headaches;
-stomach pain, loss of appetite, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
-a breast lump; or
-symptoms of depression (sleep problems, weakness, mood changes)
if these symptoms happened then there might be serious effects must be checked and the pill must be stopped
I advise you if you have any risk factor such as your age 35 ,smoking has varicose vein ,history of clots ,high cholesterol levels ,hypertension ,a lump in the breast to stop it and go to IUD device as a mean of contraception .

Contraindications for birth control pills (oral contraceptive pills OCPs) are:
• untreated or uncontrolled high blood pressure;
• heart disease (coronary artery disease, uncontrolled heart valve disorder, history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot);
• a blood-clotting disorder or circulation problems;
• problems with your eyes, kidneys or circulation caused by diabetes;
• a history of hormone-related cancer such as breast or uterine cancer;
• unusual vaginal bleeding that has not been checked by a doctor;
• liver disease or liver cancer;
• severe migraine headaches (with aura, numbness, weakness, or vision changes), especially if you are older than 35;
• a history of jaundice caused by pregnancy or birth control pills; or
• Tobacco smoking in women >35 years old.
OCPs and cancer risk:
• Overall, however, the risks of endometrial and ovarian cancer appear to be reduced with the use of oral contraceptives, whereas the risks of breast, cervical, and liver cancer appear to be increased .
• How do oral contraceptives affect breast cancer risk?
A woman’s risk of developing breast cancer depends on several factors. Hormonal and reproductive history elements that increase the risk of breast cancer include factors that may allow prolonged breast tissue exposure to high levels of hormones, such as:
o Beginning menstruation at an early age
o Experiencing menopause at a late age
o Later age at first pregnancy
o Not having children at all
A recent analysis of data concluded that women who used a specific type of oral contraceptive, a “triphasic” pill, in which the dose of hormones is changed in three stages over the course of a woman’s monthly cycle, had a slightly increased breast cancer risk..
• How do oral contraceptives affect cervical cancer risk?
≥ 5 years use of oral contraceptives has been found to be associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer; COPs may play a role by changing the susceptibility of cervical cells to HPV infection (by far the major culprit in cervical cancer), affect their ability to clear the infection, or make it easier for HPV infection to cause changes that progress to cervical cancer.
