Is withdrawal bleeding a sign of successful contraception?

Withdrawal bleeding refers to a symptom. Vaginal bleeding usually occurs within one week after stopping the medication, which is medically called withdrawal bleeding, but it may be longer in some patients. The longer the amenorrhea lasts, the more withdrawal bleeding there is. Does the occurrence of withdrawal bleeding mean that contraceptive measures are successful?

The occurrence of withdrawal bleeding does not necessarily mean that contraceptive measures are successful, as the amount of bleeding varies. If after taking birth control pills, you have heavy bleeding 3-7 days after stopping the pills, which is close to your menstrual flow and withdrawal bleeding, it may be that the birth control measures are successful, indicating that the uterine wall has shed and is too thin, so it is not easy for the sperm and egg to combine and the embryo to implant. However, if the withdrawal bleeding is very small, there is spot-like bleeding or there is blood in the secretions, it is not necessarily the case. The contraceptive measures may have failed. It is also possible that the uterine wall is thinner when the menstrual period just ended, and after taking the contraceptive pill, withdrawal bleeding occurs, and the bleeding is less. Therefore, if the bleeding is light, you should wait until the next menstrual period. If it does not come, you should go to the hospital for a physical examination immediately. If the menstrual period has not come, a blood test shows that the human chorionic gonadotropin level has not increased, which indicates that the contraceptive measures are successful.

After taking emergency contraception: Bleeding after taking birth control pills is a common condition, which is often called withdrawal bleeding in clinical medicine. In fact, this type of bleeding cannot generally be considered as menarche. Several situations of bleeding after taking birth control pills: Pregnant women take special birth control pills at different times of the menstrual cycle, and the effects on the menstrual period will also be different. If taken within the first half of the menstrual cycle, it may have a great impact on women's menstrual period and vaginal bleeding may occur; if taken within the first half of the menstrual cycle, it will have less impact on women's menstrual period. The amount of bleeding is similar to normal menstrual flow and can be regarded as a menstrual period.

There are many kinds of contraceptive measures. The reliable contraceptive measures recommended by doctors are as follows:

The first one is condom contraception. Use condoms during all sexual intercourse, which can have a good contraceptive effect and prevent the occurrence of sexually transmitted diseases.

The second type is short-acting emergency contraception, which is a more reliable method of contraception. You need to take one pill a day and it will make your menstrual period very regular. The third-generation emergency contraceptives currently on the market generally do not cause obesity, but it should be noted that women who smoke over 35 years old or women over 40 years old who take short-acting contraceptives internally will increase the risk of venous thrombosis.

The third method is to release the ring. It can have a 98% contraceptive effect. The Mirena IUD can reduce menstrual volume and relieve dysmenorrhea, but symptoms such as spotting and decreased menstruation may occur within half a year after the IUD is placed.

The fourth type is subcutaneous implant, which is effective for three years. However, before subcutaneous implantation, breast tumors and uterine tumors must be prevented.

In addition to the above methods which are relatively reliable, people sometimes also use birth control pills and safe period contraception. These two contraceptive measures are not reliable. The failure rate of birth control pills is relatively high, and it takes in a large amount of growth hormone into the body in a short period of time, which will cause irregular menstruation. Contraception during the safe period is unsafe. Many women calculate their safe menstrual period but still get pregnant.
