What are the effects of birth control on women?

There are many methods of contraception, such as condoms, emergency contraceptive pills, and long-term contraceptive pills. These methods of contraception are also relatively common. Most women will choose birth control after giving birth. The more common ones are sterilization and IUDs. Some people worry that birth control will cause harm to the human body. What are the effects of birth control on women? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What are the effects of birth control on women?

Sterilization surgery will not affect women's physical health, and the fallopian tubes after ligation can be repaired and reconnected. Female sterilization surgery can be used as a method of contraception. It can be said to be safe, simple and effective. Therefore, women must think carefully before undergoing sterilization surgery and make sure that there are no concerns about their marriage, family, number of children, and health status before taking sterilization measures.

However, patients with endometritis who really need to wear an IUD should wait until the inflammation disappears before having a ligation. Those who have had a cesarean section for less than six months need to wait until the uterus recovers before having a ligation. It is also not suitable for breastfeeding women.

Because the uterus of a breastfeeding woman is softer, the probe can easily penetrate the uterine wall during ligation. Therefore, breastfeeding women should try to wait for ligation after breastfeeding. Those with irregular menstruation or excessive menstrual flow are not suitable for ligation.

2. Contraceptive methods

1. Natural contraception: including interrupting sexual intercourse and calculating the safe period.

2. Barrier measures: including condoms and vaginal diaphragms (female condoms).

3. Oral contraceptives are the most popular contraceptive method in the world.

4. Emergency contraception method: If you forget to take contraceptive measures or contraception fails, taking emergency contraceptive pills is the most effective contraceptive method at this time. Guidance: The safest, most effective and side-effect-free contraceptive method is to wear a condom.

3. Diagnosis of complications of female contraceptive surgery: intraoperative and short-term complications.

1. Organ damage

Contraceptive surgery causes uterine perforation or rupture, cervical and vaginal vault lacerations, adnexa, bladder, intestinal tract and mesentery damage, resulting in bleeding or requiring repair or resection.

2. Bleeding and hematoma

Patients without bleeding tendency diseases may suffer from external bleeding due to birth control surgery (≥100 ml during insertion and removal of intrauterine contraceptive device, ≥200 ml during vacuum extraction or uterine curettage in early pregnancy, ≥300 ml during uterine curettage and various induced labors in mid-pregnancy or within 24 hours after delivery), or internal bleeding, as well as abdominal wall hematoma, broad ligament hematoma and retroperitoneal hematoma.

3. Infection

There was no systemic or local infection before the operation. Within two weeks after the sterilization operation, abdominal wall incision, peritoneum, uterus, adnexa and pelvic inflammation directly related to the sterilization operation began to appear, and even developed into systemic infection.
