Birth Control Pills & Increased Sex Drive
Birth control pills come with a range of side effects, both good and bad. Whether you’re on the pill to prevent pregnancy or to manage your periods, you may find that your libido changes when you start hormonal birth control or change pills. Many women experience a lower sex drive on the pill, but an increase in libido is also possible.
How Can a Teenager Increase Body Weight?
Much media emphasis has been placed on teenagers who are overweight, but not as much emphasis has been placed on teens who are underweight. Underweight teenagers can be concerned about their physical appearance, too. In some cases, underweight teens do not have enough energy to keep up with their growing bodies, according to the Center for Young Women’s Health. Combine that with an active lifestyle, and teens can likely burn more calories than they consume. With the help of their parents, teenagers can get to a healthier weight. Eating disorders, however, are an entirely different issue that you should address with your doctor.

Hormone Changes in Women
The process of growing from infancy to girlhood, young adulthood and old age is significantly impacted by both the presence and absence of natural hormones. A woman’s hormones tell her body when to enter puberty, when to prepare for and feed a baby and when the child-bearing years should cease. Hormones regulate her monthly periods and influence her moods, sex drive and complexion. They are also linked to significant diseases such as breast cancer, osteoporosis and heart disease.
