What are the hazards of taking contraceptive pills for a long time?
1. Breast swelling pain
Long term use of contraceptive pills can cause breast swelling and pain, which is the stimulation of estrogen on the breasts.
2. Early pregnancy like reaction
In the early stages of medication, a small number of people experience mild early pregnancy like reactions, such as nausea, dizziness, weakness, loss of appetite, fatigue, vomiting, etc.
3. Endocrine disorders
The long-term inhibition of ovarian function by pregnancy drugs can easily lead to a decrease in ovarian function, leading to hormonal imbalances and hormonal imbalances leading to amenorrhea.
4. Increased vaginal discharge
Most cases are caused by long-term oral contraceptives. Therefore, the content of estrogen in drugs is high, and excessive estrogen affects the secretion cells of the cervical endometrium, resulting in strong secretion and increased vaginal discharge
5. Menstrual irregularities
Breakthrough bleeding due to reduced menstrual flow or amenorrhea. If bleeding occurs during medication, it mostly occurs after medication leakage. A few people may also experience vaginal bleeding without taking medication, resulting in an increase in physiological volume and an extension of physiological days.
What are female contraceptive methods?
1. Long term oral contraceptives for women
This is an artificially synthesized estrogen that is taken once a month, simple, convenient, and safe. The disadvantage is that it causes high blood pressure and has the risk of recessive diabetes, and the duration of taking medicine is generally not more than 5 years. The effectiveness and side effects of this drug injection are basically the same.
2. Vaginal ring
The circular ring made of silicone contains a continuous release of progesterone, which has the same effects and side effects as the long-term contraceptive pill implanted under the skin. It needs to be placed and removed by oneself. May increase the chance of vaginal infection.
3. External contraceptive pills
Such as contraceptive film. The advantage is easy to use, but the disadvantage is that when there is less vaginal discharge, it affects the dissolution of the medication film and the effectiveness of contraception. Some people have side effects such as vaginal burning and increased vaginal discharge.
4. Safe period contraception method
The method of avoiding sexual intercourse during the monthly ovulation period of women, which is the fertile period, in order to achieve contraceptive purposes. The advantage of this method is that it can avoid the side effects and troubles of contraceptive pills, the side effects of device and tool contraception, and concerns about surgery. The disadvantage is that it has a high failure rate.
