Can BIRTH CONTROL PILL change BRAIN?💊
.
It’s been 50 years since the introduction of hormonal contraception, but only now we've slowly started to discover what it does to a female's brain.
.
Research shows that hormonal birth control pill changes:
✔️brain structure
✔️how some areas of the brain function
✔️your behavior
.
Some women feel anxious and depressed while taking a pill. In some cases, hormonal birth control pill changes the structure of the brain (mainly regions associated with learning, memory, and emotion regulation). The pill can also affect to whom females are attracted to! Women off of the pill tend to be more attracted to men who have conventionally "masculine" features, while women on the pill don't prioritize attractiveness as much.
.
Another interesting fact is that women who do not take hormonal birth control are attracted to the scent of men who are genetically different from them. When a woman is on the pill, her body is fooled into thinking it’s pregnant, which can affect who she is attracted to.
