How to Choose the Appropriate Contraceptive Method and Which Contraceptive Method is the Best

Ms. Li asked, "I have just been married and have been using oral contraceptives for contraception. However, some people have recently read online that taking contraceptives for a long time may affect their health, and some people are advised not to take them. What types of contraceptives are there?. Won't it harm the body

The expert replied that birth control pills are also medications that have certain side effects and need to be carefully selected based on personal circumstances. Common oral contraceptives are roughly divided into three types based on their effective period: emergency contraceptives, short-term contraceptives, and long-term contraceptives.

The emergency contraceptive pill is effective within 72 hours after the room, and there should be no sexual activity during the medication period, which does not affect the efficacy. The earlier the medication is taken, the better the effect. Generally speaking, it is not recommended for patients with endocrine diseases, gynecological tumors, those with sparse menstruation, and women over the age of 35 who smoke. After taking medication, there may be nausea, vomiting, irregular uterine bleeding, menstrual changes, and sometimes breast swelling, dizziness, etc., which usually subsides within 24 hours. This contraceptive pill should not be taken for a long time, as it can cause significant harm to the body.

Short acting oral contraceptives are suitable for women without basic diseases or diabetes. Its advantage is that it is easy to control, and if you want to get pregnant, you can get pregnant quickly after stopping the medication. The main side effects include nausea, vomiting, irregular uterine bleeding, early or delayed menstruation, and breast pain. Symptoms are generally mild, and taking medication with food or before bedtime can reduce its incidence.

Long acting oral contraceptives are suitable for women who cannot place intrauterine devices, do not want to use other contraceptive methods, and cohabit for a long time. Its advantages are long-term reversibility, no need for daily medication, and no impact on sexual activity. The disadvantage is that some women may experience increased and prolonged menstrual periods, and in severe cases, may lead to amenorrhea. Generally, newlyweds, women with hypertension, obesity, gynecological tumors, and other diseases should not take it.
