The harm of contraception to the human body:

1. Long menstrual period and shortened menstrual cycle

Long menstrual periods are mainly caused by insufficient estrogen levels and incomplete detachment of the uterine wall. The treatment method is to take short-term contraceptives, 5-7 days before menstruation, 1-2 tablets each time, once a day, and then take it for 4 days to restore the uterine wall to its normal state. Menstrual flow can be restored.

When the menstrual cycle is shorter than 20 days, the cycle duration decreases. After the injection of the long-acting contraceptive injection, you can start to shorten the menstrual cycle on the 10th day after the injection, and then start taking short-term contraceptives, 1 to 2 tablets each time, once a day, or even for 4 to 6 days. The menstrual cycle can be maintained at around 28 days.

2. Non-menstrual bleeding in the vagina

Irregular vaginal bleeding can be divided into two categories: menstrual bleeding and injectable contraceptives. Most of them had moderate levels of blood, and very few had water seepage. Vaginal bleeding may be caused by a lack of estrogen in the body. A few days after menstrual bleeding, menstruation ends and vaginal bleeding occurs.

3. Other symptoms

After taking long-term contraceptive injections, a small number of people may experience dizziness, fatigue, sleepiness, and nausea. The symptoms are usually mild and may not be treatable. Individuals with more severe reactions can take vitamin B26, 10 mg each time, 3 times a day. In addition, breast swelling and rash may occur after injecting the long-acting contraceptive injection.
