What are the effects of birth control pills? When are birth control pills effective?

　　Birth control pills are well known as one of the most effective forms of contraception. But taking birth control pills is not just about contraceptive effects. If used properly, it has many other effects. At this time, you must be curious about the effects of taking birth control pills. So what do birth control pills do? When are birth control pills effective? Next, I will introduce them one by one for your reference.

　　What are the functions of birth control pills?

　　1. Alleviation Dysmenorrhea

　　Taking birth control pills during cycles can suppress ovulation and relieve menstrual pain, and is mostly effective. But if it is a girl with dysmenorrhea, it is best not to use birth control pills, because it may disrupt the natural regulation and balance of hormones in the body.

　　2. Delay menstruation

　　It is best not to abuse them, because birth control pills may affect the feedback and balance mechanism of hormones in the body, artificially disrupting the natural cycle, causing Menstrual disorders . If you use it once in a while, it's generally not a big problem. Using medroxyprogesterone is better than using birth control pills.

　　3. Treat menstrual leakage

　　Excessive and urgent menstruation is called "collapse"”； Although the amount of menstruation is small, it is not clean for a long time and is called "leakage". Leakage can be cured with low-dose periodic treatment. Of course, to diagnose a “leak”, tumors must first be ruled out, especially in older women. Uterus Endometrial adenocarcinoma (also called uterine body cancer) should not be treated blindly with medication, which will delay the best opportunity for treatment.

　　4. Take a pregnancy test

　　In addition to urine tests, blood tests, and ultrasounds, contraceptive pills can also be used for discontinuation bleeding tests (usually progesterone is used). It can be taken 3 times a day, 3 tablets at a time, for a total of two days. If you are not pregnant, you should have blood within about 3 days of stopping the drug. If you still don't have blood after 7 days of stopping the drug, you may be pregnant. This method is said to be correct fetus It's not a good idea, so it's only used if you decide you don't want this tire.

　　5. Stop bleeding when bleeding is prolonged

　　For functional uterine bleeding (abbreviated as "functional blood", not "uterine blood"), short-acting contraceptive pills can be used to stop bleeding, and the effect is more than 90% certain. Dosage varies depending on the condition. Generally, one or two tablets a day is enough, and it takes three to five days to be effective. If the condition is serious, you can take a few more tablets, preferably every 8 hours or 12 hours. How long it takes is very important.

　　6. Prevent pelvic infection

　　It is said that it can prevent pelvic organ infections. If taken for more than one year, it can reduce adnexitis by 2/3 and 90%. Ectopic pregnancy , reducing breast tumors by 10% to 75%, ovarian cancer Reduce by 1/3, endometriosis by half. breast cancer Some say it will increase, while others say it will decrease by 10%. There are also different opinions on the impact of myocardial infarction, hypertension, venous thrombosis, etc., but so far there is no consensus.

　　7. Unsatisfactory menstruation regulation

　　To completely cure miscarriage, you must establish your own normal ovulation function, which is very important during adolescence. The pharmacological effect of birth control pills is to inhibit ovulation. Therefore, if birth control pills are used to treat hemorrhage and regulate menstruation, ovulation will not occur. Strictly speaking, this is not curing a disease, but adding fuel to the fire! I do not advocate using birth control pills to regulate menstruation for women of childbearing age, but it is only suitable for menopause.

　　8. Menopausal function and menstruation regulation

　　Only use medroxyprogesterone for cycle treatment. This is a clever use of a characteristic of progesterone, that is, if there is no estrogen to lay the groundwork, progesterone alone will not cause bleeding after drug withdrawal. Therefore, if there is no blood after taking progesterone, it means that the patient's ovaries have stopped secreting estrogen, and then this troublesome cycle treatment can be stopped. And because the ovaries are no longer functional, the functional bleeding will never recur and the disease will never occur again. How wonderful.

　　9. Reduce menstrual blood volume

　　Cyclic contraceptive pills can reduce menstrual flow and shorten menstrual periods. If the amount of menstruation is particularly heavy, you can also change the method of use, such as taking the medicine from the second day of menstruation, or even from the first day. In this way, it is not a total of 22 days. If you start taking it from the second day, you will have to take it for about 26 days. Anyway, let it stop for about three days to start bleeding, and the cycle will be exactly 30 days. If you have heavy periods, you can take 2 to 3 tablets every night. When the amount of menstruation begins to decrease, slowly reduce the dosage to one tablet per night and maintain it. Don't wait until menstrual flow has significantly reduced before starting to reduce the dosage (because the medicine has staying power), this can reduce the total amount of medicine taken.

　　When are birth control pills effective?

　　Birth control pills are a remedy for contraceptive failure. They are generally taken within a specified period of time to be effective. However, oral contraceptive pills also vary from person to person, and their usage is also different. However, one thing is very important: no matter what kind of contraceptive pill, it cannot be taken for a long time. Here is an introduction to when each type of contraceptive pill is effective. The timings for taking various birth control pills are:

　　1. Gastrointestinal discomfort caused by oral contraceptives female , optional contraceptive injection.

　　2. If you find that other contraceptive methods have failed, or you have been raped, you can take oral morning-after contraceptive pills, such as diethylstilbestrol 50 mg, within 24 hours for five days.

　　3. The husband and wife live separately in two places. When visiting relatives, you can take birth control pills, such as Relative Visiting Pill No. 1, etc. ； Take one tablet 8 hours before sexual intercourse, and then take one tablet every night until the visit to relatives is over, and then take another tablet the next morning. It is not suitable for long-term use.

　　4. Couples who are together, live a regular life, and can insist on taking oral pills every day, choose to take short-acting oral contraceptives, such as oral contraceptive pills No. 1 and No. 2； Start taking it on the fifth day of menstruation, take one tablet daily for 22 days.

　　5. If the couple is together, has an irregular life, and cannot insist on daily oral administration, long-acting oral contraceptives can be used. Take one pill on the fifth day of menstruation, and take the second pill 20 days apart. Then take it once a month, one pill each time.
