Evaluating your likely current (and near future) state of health means taking into account the risk factors — such as past birth control pill use — that affect you. Our medical diagnosis tool, The Analyst™, identifies major risk factors by asking the right questions.
If not currently using birth control pills, have you used them in the past 5 years?
Possible responses:
→ Not applicable / don't know→ Never used them → Yes, I used them for less than a year → Yes, I used them for 1-2 years → Yes, I used them for over 2 years |
According to National Institutes of Health, the progestins used in birth control pills in general increase the risk of gallstone formation by raising cholesterol levels in the bile and reducing gallbladder movement.
