At present, there are many types of contraceptives on the market, and many women find it difficult to choose. Do not blindly pursue expensive contraceptives, they are the most suitable for themselves, and understand the advantages and disadvantages of various contraceptives.
What are common birth control pills?
1. Long acting oral contraceptive pills
Long acting contraceptives are made of progesterone and estrogen, which inhibit ovulation, prevent zygote from implanting, and achieve contraceptive effect. It is very convenient to eat, but a large amount of medication can be taken at once and stored in adipose tissue after discontinuation, which can cause damage to the body and is not suitable for unmarried women. The pregnancy hormones and estrogen inside can cause great harm. If the medication is suddenly stopped, it must be stopped after 3 months to slowly reduce the hormone levels in the body and prevent massive bleeding.
2. Emergency oral contraceptive pills
Emergency contraceptives are mainly divided into two types: one is anti progesterone, the other is a large amount of pregnancy hormone drugs, and the latter is common. This contraceptive pill contains a large amount of pregnancy hormones, which can inhibit or delay ovulation, inhibit the endometrium, and achieve contraceptive effects. However, the large dosage of emergency contraceptives can affect the endocrine system, disrupt the menstrual cycle, cause irregular vaginal bleeding, lead to amenorrhea or malignant disorders in women, and even damage the liver and kidneys, leading to lifelong infertility in women
3. Short acting oral contraceptive pills
Short acting oral medication mainly achieves contraceptive effects by inhibiting ovulation, changing the endometrial environment, and changing the characteristics of cervical mucus to prevent sperm penetration. Rational use of short acting oral contraceptives can reduce the probability of cervical cancer, endometrial cancer and breast cancer. It is a reversible contraceptive method. Choosing short acting oral contraceptives will not affect women's future fertility and pregnancy.
4. Long acting injectable contraceptive pills
On the 5th and 12th day of the menstrual cycle, women receive one deep muscle injection per session, followed by about one injection per month. Women with continuous amenorrhea for more than 2 months should immediately stop injecting and wait until menstruation arrives. This contraceptive method is very simple, but excessive use can lead to menstrual disorders.
Warm Reminder
Choose the appropriate contraceptive method based on your own situation. Currently, there are also external contraceptives on the market, mainly for female vaginal use, ultimately achieving contraceptive effects. However, some women may experience local itching and burning sensation after using the medication, and try to use them reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
