Will women gain weight if they take birth control pills? These people should be careful about contraception.

　　In modern society, people are under increasing pressure, and the matter of having children is always put off again and again. However, as long as you have a normal sex life, if you don’t want children, you need active contraception. Many people female I chose to take contraceptive pills for contraception, but I heard that contraceptive pills are made of hormones. I am worried that these hormones will have adverse effects on my body after taking them. So will women gain weight if they take birth control pills?

　　The main component of birth control pills is hormones

　　Oral contraceptives are hormonal drugs, usually composed of estrogen and progesterone in different proportions, or simply progestin. Estrogen has an effect, which is medically called water and sodium retention, which makes it possible to cause obesity after taking birth control pills. However, this kind of obesity is not obesity in the sense we call it, because it is not caused by the accumulation of fat, but is caused by water and sodium retention. This is caused by the effect of estrogen. As long as you stop taking birth control pills, you can quickly return to normal. Progesterone is an androgen-like hormone. Progesterone can promote protein synthesis. After protein synthesis, weight gain will occur.

　　Women will not gain weight taking birth control pills

　　Generally speaking, women do not take birth control pills for a long time. Taking a small amount of birth control pills in a short period of time will not cause obesity. Some people may not take birth control pills during this period due to endocrine effects or other factors. disease Due to the influence of the birth control pill, I also gained weight. I happen to be taking birth control pills, so I rely on birth control pills, so it cannot be entirely due to the effects of birth control pills. Therefore, generally speaking, women taking birth control pills will not cause real obesity.

　　Birth control pills may not be suitable for everyone

　　In fact, women who are overweight have a faster metabolism and require more hormones to prevent pregnancy. They will be hindered by excess body fat during contraception, which will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the drug. It is also difficult for them to get rid of the influence of weight when "creating humans". Therefore, they should be cautious when choosing appropriate contraceptive and "creating human" methods.

　　Moreover, many birth control pills have a fat-dissolving effect and may stay in the areas where fat accumulates in the body, preventing them from reaching the bloodstream where they should actually take effect.

　　I would like to remind everyone that if your weight exceeds 58 kilograms, it is best to ask your doctor to recommend other more reliable methods, such as intrauterine devices, or a combination of birth control pills and condoms, so as to ensure that everything is foolproof.

　　What are the contraceptive methods for women?

　　1. Oral contraceptives

　　There are short-acting and long-acting oral contraceptives. Short-acting contraceptives are generally taken on the fifth day of menstruation. If taken continuously for 22 days without interruption, it can prevent pregnancy for one month. Its contraceptive effect is reliable and the method is simple.； For long-acting contraceptive pills, take the pill on the fifth day of menstruation, and take the second pill 20 days apart. After that, use the second pill day as the monthly pill date, and take one pill every month.

　　2. Fallopian tube ligation

　　Can fallopian tube ligation prevent pregnancy? Mainly because the inner side of the fallopian tube is Uterus Connected, the outer end is free, the ovary is close, and the egg travels from the fallopian tube to the uterine cavity. After fallopian tube ligation, the passage of eggs to the uterus is blocked, making it difficult to conceive. This contraceptive method is very effective, but it is mainly for women who want permanent sterilization. If you do not want to get pregnant in the future, you can use this method, so you will no longer worry about unwanted pregnancy during intercourse.

　　3. Intrauterine contraceptive device

　　This method of contraception is to put an intrauterine device into a woman's uterus, and select an appropriate uterine ring according to the condition of each person's uterus. After the uterine ring is placed into the uterine cavity, it changes the environment in the uterine cavity, causing inflammation of the uterus, which is not conducive to embryo implantation, thus causing early miscarriage, in order to achieve the purpose of contraception.

　　4. Safe period contraception

　　Every woman has her own ovulation period, and the chance of getting pregnant during the ovulation period is very high. In other words, in order to effectively prevent pregnancy, we can choose to have sex during the non-ovulation period. The ovulation period can be determined through the menstrual cycle estimation method, or the basal body temperature measurement method or the cervical mucus observation method. The purpose of the safe period contraceptive method is to make sperm Miss the chance encounter with the egg, thus achieving the purpose of contraception. (Reference website: 39 healthy net)
