What are the disadvantages of taking contraceptive pills during the safe period

Contraceptive pills are divided into emergency, short-acting and long-acting. Taking emergency contraceptive pills frequently can cause great harm to the body. It may cause endocrine disorders, menstrual disorders, etc., and in severe cases it may affect fertility. Here are some of the disadvantages of taking birth control pills:

1. Irregular menstruation. This is the most common side effect for women taking Marvelon. If you take Marvelon for more than three months, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. If you take it for more than half a year, you will more or less have irregular menstruation or even amenorrhea or continuous bleeding.

2. Nausea. The estrogen in oral contraceptives may cause stomach upset, especially in adolescents and thin women. This symptom usually disappears after 1-2 months. To reduce nausea, take the medicine before bed or with a meal.

3. Weight changes. With modern low-dose oral contraceptives, weight gain is relatively minimal. Studies show that some women lose weight while taking oral contraceptives, most maintain the same amount of weight, and some gain a little. The study also showed that weight gain was minimal when the estrogen dose was equal to or less than 35 micrograms (Marvel contains only 30 micrograms).

4. Breast tenderness. Increased estrogen levels in the body can cause breast tenderness. If you experience this symptom, don't worry, it will improve within a few months. Reducing your caffeine intake from coffee, tea, chocolate, and soft drinks can help relieve symptoms.

5. Spotting/breakthrough bleeding. In general, oral contraceptives can make menstrual cycles more regular, with shorter periods and less menstrual flow. But occasionally, spotting or breakthrough bleeding may occur before a tablet is taken. This is most common in the early stages of taking the medication while the body adjusts itself to the new hormone levels.

6. Mood changes. Some women may experience mood changes around the time of their period, both when they are taking the medication and when they are not. This may be partly due to premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Marvelon can help some women improve PMS, but some women may still experience this symptom. Often, there are other reasons besides birth control pills that cause these symptoms.
