The BMJ Group released a medical study in August of 2009 claiming a heightened “venous thrombotic” risk due to taking certain oral contraceptives. Venous thrombosis is the medical term used to describe a blood clot. The study, which featured 1,524 patients, revealed a fivefold increase in the risk of blood clots
BMJ also released a national follow-up study which followed numerous female patients in Denmark from 1995-2005. Over 4,000 blood clots developed, but even more shocking was the fact that nearly half of these blood clots occurred in patients who were currently using birth control pills such as Yaz and Yasmin.
