Which long-term contraceptive pill is better?

Many newlyweds or couples who already have children and do not plan to have more will choose a method of contraception during their sexual life. For couples who do not plan to have more children, women generally choose to have sterilization surgery. Some women who may experience severe adverse reactions to the IUD and newlyweds can only choose to take long-term contraceptive pills. Below I will introduce to you which long-term contraceptive pill is better.

Long-acting contraceptives are also compound drugs made of estrogen and progesterone, which achieve the purpose of contraception by inhibiting ovulation and resisting implantation. The progestin dose in long-acting contraceptives is dozens of times that of short-acting contraceptives, and the estrogen dose is nearly a hundred times that of short-acting contraceptives, so the side effects are greater. Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly. You must switch to short-acting contraceptives and wait for three months before stopping. This will allow the hormone levels in the body to slowly decrease and avoid heavy bleeding.
