		<description>I don&#039;t know where you read that. Perhaps you misunderstood the author. If you are confused that&#039;s a good thing, you have reason to be. The body works in a fairly logical pattern, the statement above is illogical as you pointed out. If you could give me context, the source, or perhaps the specific location in the body they are referring to then I&#039;ll be able to help you further.</description>

		<description>To hold in the pressure perhaps? 

That&#039;s what I would think. 

I&#039;m just guessing really.</description>

		<description>Your doctors seem entirely oblivious to all other forms of non-hormonal contraception, then. It may be true that you can&#039;t safely use HBC, but there&#039;s a whole slew of other options. I have a non-hormonal IUD myself (I&#039;ve never been pregnant and was 17 when I got it; you don&#039;t have to be a parous adult to acquire one by any means), and it&#039;s fantastic. It wouldn&#039;t affect your blood pressure at all, the one available in the U.S. lasts 10-12 years (you can have it taken out before then, of course), and it&#039;s over 99% effective at all times when properly placed. Apart from that, you could use condoms, diaphragms, Lea&#039;s Shield, spermicides, VCF, FAM, and contraceptive sponges. None of these are quite as effective as an IUD, but combining methods definitely boosts efficacy.


EDIT: I noticed that another poster mentioned that estrogen is a big issue with blood pressure. If that&#039;s the biggest factor, then you should ask about Implanon (an implant, which is the best reversible contraceptive available as far as efficacy rates go), Mirena (a hormonal IUD, which is second only to the implant and is also estrogen-free), and mini-pills. I would steer clear of Depo Provera (the injection), though, as it&#039;s been widely known to cause potentially irreversible bone density loss.</description>

		<description>Oh dear, that *****. Why would you go and swallow pills that do such horrible things to your body? Perhaps your olds would be better off doing some gentle exercise, drinking plenty (2 litres a day) of water to thin the blood, and generally changing her unhelpful habits to get over the blood pressure problem. Drugs are OK to temporarily fix symptoms but to really fix the problem you need to go natural. Check out these links for some free (except for one of them)  info on living a life of natural low blood pressure, good luck!</description>
