Do birth control pills cause amenorrhea?

Birth control pills are a common method of contraception used by young people today, but birth control pills work under the action of hormones. If taken for a long time, they can cause serious harm to women's bodies and can easily lead to endocrine disorders or menstrual disorders in women. Moreover, if a woman has a delicate constitution, taking birth control pills may cause amenorrhea, so birth control pills must not be taken for a long time.

Generally speaking, amenorrhea often occurs after taking short-acting contraceptives. This is because the drug inhibits ovulation, the ovaries secrete less estrogen, the drug contains less estrogen, the endometrium cannot grow normally, the endometrium is thin, so the menstrual flow is reduced, or even menstruation stops. Reduced menstrual flow has no effect on your health. If you miss your period for 2 consecutive months while taking the medication, you should stop taking it and use other contraceptive measures. Most people can return to normal on their own.

Lack of menstruation or even amenorrhea after taking long-term contraceptive pills: This situation is usually temporary and does not have much impact on physical health. If amenorrhea occurs for 3 consecutive months, the medication should be discontinued. Wait until your menstrual period resumes before continuing to take the medicine. If menstruation still does not occur within one month after stopping the medication, you should go to the hospital for examination and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Yellowish-brown spots on the face: This is also a side effect of long-term contraceptives. They will generally disappear gradually after stopping the medication. If you take vitamin B or vitamin C, the effect will be better.

As an effective contraceptive method, contraceptive pills are now widely used in China, but this method of contraception should never be taken for a long time. Because the harm to the ecological system is too great. Moreover, there is currently no contraceptive method in the world that can achieve 100% contraceptive effectiveness, so it is better to take contraceptive measures before having sex.
