Generally speaking, the main ingredients of contraceptives are estrogen and progesterone. Middle aged women, as they are about to enter menopause, often have higher or lower levels of estrogen in their bodies. Taking contraceptive pills at this time can artificially increase estrogen levels, which can easily lead to estrogen level disorders. So far, the more estrogen accumulates in the body, the more susceptible menstruation is, and vaginal bleeding, breast swelling and pain, the growth of uterine fibroids, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, and so on can also occur.
Especially for emergency contraceptives, women over 40 years old should not touch them. Because the dosage of emergency birth control pills is significantly higher than that of regular birth control pills, such as Justin containing 0.75 milligrams of pregnancy hormone per tablet and short-term birth control pills containing 0.125 milligrams of pregnancy hormone. It can be seen that the amount of emergency contraceptives is equivalent to the amount of six short acting contraceptives. If repeatedly used in the short term, it will obviously increase estrogen disorders.
Usually, taking short birth control pills for 6-7 years and long birth control pills for 3-4 years should consider changing contraceptive methods. During the medication period, it is best to undergo a breast self-examination after each menstrual period and an annual cervical smear examination.
Husbands must consider their wives more when choosing contraceptive methods. Condoms are a good choice, as in addition to contraception, they can also block bacteria that are prone to cross infection between couples. In addition, contraceptive rings are also a good choice for middle-aged women. Nowadays, the materials of contraceptive rings are not only of good quality, but also have small wounds.
