I recently read online because a massage increases blood flow it is not safe while taking birth control pills because of the possibility of dislodging a blood clot. I would also like to know if a facial is ok. Any insight?
I used to get massage therapy on birth control, though I dont remember the brand Ive done it on the estrogen pill, progesterone pill and the depo shot. Never hurts to call if you want total reassurance though.
Huh. Never heard of that before. I would give your doc a call if you're worried. I would think a facial wouldn't be a problem. No place to have big clots in your face. I think there'd be a lot fewer massage spas if women on birth control couldn't get massages, though!
