Many women choose to take birth control pills to prevent pregnancy, but they don’t know the correct way to take birth control pills and take them blindly. In fact, birth control pills can cause certain harm to women's bodies. So, what are the side effects of birth control pills? Let’s find out together.

>01Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weakness. This often happens when you start taking a medication. When this reaction occurs, on the one hand, you can drink some strong tea, chew some candied ginger, and pickles; on the other hand, you must insist on taking the medication as prescribed. As the body adapts to the medication, the reaction will gradually disappear. For some women who have more severe reactions, they can take the following reaction-suppressing drugs appropriately: vitamin B6, 20 mg each time, 3 times a day; vitamin C, 100 mg per second, 3 times a day; anti-reaction tablets, 1 tablet each time, 3 times a day; compound aluminum hydroxide tablets or yeast tablets, 1 gram each time, once a day, taken together with contraceptives.

Generally, as long as you continue to take the pills on time, the bleeding will stop and your menstrual period will return to normal.

If you have amenorrhea for three consecutive months, you should stop taking the medication, take other contraceptive measures, and resume taking the medication after menstruation resumes on its own. If menstruation still does not occur within one month after stopping the medication, you should ask your doctor to use drugs such as medroxyprogesterone acetate, combined progesterone or menstrual induction tablets to induce menstruation based on the examination results. After that, you should switch to other contraceptives.
