A member asked:
Can my gerd be exacerbated with the start of the first month of yaz birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
GERD and BCP's: Birth control pills (including "YAZ") contain less estrogen and progesterone than a normal cycle (i.e., without bcp's), and the occurrence of GERD is related to increased acid production and regurgitation of the acid into the throat, and is related to stress, anxiety, etc., and not caused by estrogen/progesterone in any form.
