What are the side effects of taking long-term contraceptives? Why unmarried women avoid using long-term contraceptives

If you are not married and have a romantic partner, do not take long-term contraceptives casually. So, what are the reasons why unmarried women avoid long-term contraception? Because taking long-term contraceptives can cause damage to the body.

From the perspective of chemical composition, long-term contraceptives are similar to short-term contraceptives and can be divided into three types: estrogen, pregnancy hormone, and estrogen mixture. If women are sensitive to their side effects, their side effects should also be the same as those of short-acting contraceptives of the same composition. It should be noted that long-acting drugs need to be put into the body at once, with a relatively large amount, and there may be some accumulation after stopping the medication. Therefore, it is generally recommended that women who have not given birth do not take long-term contraceptives. If you want to have a child after taking medication, you should stop taking medication for a month to six months.

When using long-acting contraceptive pills, regular physical examinations should be conducted, including breast, liver function, blood pressure, and cervical scraping. If abnormalities are found, the medication should be discontinued. Breastfeeding women can only start using it at least 6 months after delivery, and non lactating women can only use it at least 6 weeks after delivery.

The above content mainly introduces in detail the reasons why unmarried women avoid using long-term contraceptives, hoping to be helpful to female friends.
