What should I pay attention to after taking birth control pills?

Birth control pills are oral contraceptives, which come in two types: oral for women and oral for men. The principle of birth control pills is to inhibit ovulation and change uterine mucus, so that the chance of conception will be low and male sperm will not be able to penetrate, thus achieving the contraceptive effect. However, you should also be careful when taking birth control pills, so as to avoid these reactions in the body after taking birth control pills that may cause unsuccessful contraception and unexpected pregnancy. Because birth control pills themselves are oral medications, they cannot be avoided 100%, so you should understand some precautions.

Contraceptive drugs generally refer to oral contraceptives, which include female oral contraceptives and male oral contraceptives. Its contraceptive principle is mainly to inhibit ovulation and change the cervical mucus to make it difficult for sperm to penetrate, or to reduce the production of glycogen in the uterine glands to make it difficult for the blastocyst to survive, or to change the activity of the uterus and fallopian tubes to hinder the transportation of the fertilized egg. A drug that prevents sperm and egg from combining to form a fertilized egg, thereby achieving the purpose of contraception.

Tools/Raw Materials

Contraceptive pills

Methods/Steps

Birth control pills regulate the timing of your menstrual periods. Skin deterioration, hormone stimulation, accelerated aging, etc.

A small amount of vaginal bleeding after taking the medicine is not a sign of successful contraception. If there is no menstrual-like bleeding, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

If vomiting occurs within 1 hour after taking the medicine, you should take another dose as soon as possible.

There are also a series of impacts on pregnancy, but the problem is not big.

Emergency contraceptive pills need to be taken within 72 hours of the event, and you only need to keep your stomach fasting for two hours before and after taking the pills.

Bleeding will occur about a week after taking the oral medication. This is withdrawal bleeding, a side effect of the medication. There is no need to worry about it. At the same time, it must be noted that the contraceptive rate of oral contraceptives is not 100%, so it is recommended to observe the next menstruation. If the menstruation is delayed for more than one week (the effect of contraceptives on menstruation will not delay more than one week), it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination.

Precautions

Contraceptive pills have serious side effects, so don't take them more than three times a year.
