Yaz Pancreatitis Side Effects
What is pancreatitis?
Some people in the medical community have associated the estrogen contained in hormone-based birth control such as Yaz with increased blood levels of triglyceride causing pancreatitis in patients using these oral contraceptives. Another theory is that estrogen has toxic effects within the pancreas itself. Our birth control litigation team is currently representing women who have suffered from pancreatitis side effects and are interested in filing a Yaz pancreatitis lawsuit.
Yaz pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas. The pancreas is a large gland behind the stomach and close to the duodenum—the first part of the small intestine. The pancreas secretes digestive juices, or enzymes, into the duodenum through a tube called the pancreatic duct. Pancreatic enzymes join with bile—a liquid produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder—to digest food. The pancreas also releases the hormones insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream. These hormones help the body regulate the glucose it takes from food for energy.
Normally, digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas do not become active until they reach the small intestine. But when the pancreas is inflamed, the enzymes inside it attack and damage the tissues that produce them.
Pancreatitis can be acute or chronic. Either form is serious and can lead to complications. In severe cases, bleeding, infection, and permanent tissue damage may occur.
