A 16-year-old girl died after starting birth control pills. The girl was identified as Layla Khan and was a resident of a city in the United Kingdom. Her death was confirmed last Wednesday (13/12).

Layla was a student and often experienced severe discomfort during her menstrual cycles. Because of this, the teenager was advised to start taking birth control pills to try to alleviate the problem.

However, after starting the pills, Layla began experiencing intense headaches followed by nausea and vomiting. The teenager felt ill, and her family heard her fall unconscious in the bathroom.

The young woman was diagnosed with a blood clot in her brain. Layla’s family expressed their shock over the loss and expressed their grief in a post online.

“  I have no words to describe the pain I feel. Our family is devastated. First it was Grandma, and now Layla. With Christmas right around the corner, the pain is even greater,  ” wrote Alicia Binns, the teen’s cousin.

Alicia posted a post on the GoFundMe website, which aims to raise money for important causes. “  On Sunday (10/12), Layla was extremely sick and vomiting every 30 minutes  ,” recalls Jenna Braithwaite, the young woman’s aunt.

She says that the next day, Layla was taken to a hospital, but the staff there said there was no reason to take her to the emergency room.

Layla returned home but became ill again and returned to the hospital, where the blood clot was detected. She underwent surgery but did not survive. The cause of death was not revealed, but it is well known that contraceptives can cause problems like the one that caused the teenager’s death.
