Side effects of long-acting contraceptives, beware of allergic reactions!

Nowadays, many young people do not take effective contraceptive measures and often use contraceptive pills after sex. But here we solemnly remind everyone that all contraceptive pills have side effects. Everyone's physical condition is different, so the damage they suffer will naturally be different.

1. If the early pregnancy reaction is severe, you can take the medicine after lunch, or take contraceptive reaction suppression tablets at the same time in each cycle, 1 tablet each time, 1 to 2 times a day, for 1 to 2 days in total. The early pregnancy reactions of long-acting contraceptive injections are milder than those of oral medications and generally do not require diagnosis or treatment.

2. Irregular vaginal bleeding during menstruation. For irregular bleeding caused by long-acting oral contraceptives, you can take 1 tablet of ethinyl estradiol. If bleeding still occurs, you can use other contraceptive methods. When irregular bleeding is caused by long-acting contraceptive injections, ethinyl estradiol can be used for treatment, or 10 days after the injection of the long-acting contraceptive injection, take 1 to 2 tablets of short-acting contraceptives every day for 5 consecutive days.

3. If the menstrual cycle is shortened, you can take 1 to 2 short-acting contraceptive pills every day 4 to 5 days before each expected menstruation for 5 consecutive days to prolong the menstrual period.

4. Excessive or insufficient menstrual flow generally does not require treatment and will return to normal after stopping the medication. Individuals with significantly increased menstrual flow should consider stopping the medication, further identify the cause, and use other contraceptive measures.

5. Breast swelling, palpitations, hot flashes, back pain, abdominal pain, etc. will return to normal after stopping the medication.

6. Headache. Pay attention to measuring blood pressure. If blood pressure is normal, you can continue to take the medication. If headache persists, you should consider stopping the medication.

7. Some may have allergic reactions. If you are injecting a long-acting contraceptive injection, you should be observed for 15 to 20 minutes after the injection. If an allergic reaction occurs, the medication or injection should be discontinued and other contraceptive measures should be used instead.

8. Increased vaginal discharge generally does not require treatment. If you find that you have a lot of vaginal discharge with a foul odor, and your vulva is itchy, you should go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out other causes of vaginitis so that you can receive timely treatment.
