The harm of taking birth control pills to the body

With the development of society, the lifestyle of young people is becoming more open. The richness and diversity of private life will also bring some bad consequences. In mild cases, the pregnancy may result in miscarriage, while in severe cases, it may lead to more serious reproductive system diseases. Therefore, effective contraception and healthy sex life have become the focus for young people. Today I will introduce to you the harm of taking birth control pills to your body.

Vaginal bleeding. Many women experience persistent spotting or breakthrough bleeding similar to menstrual volume while taking the medication. This is related to missed doses, late doses of birth control pills, or insufficient effectiveness of birth control pills.

Oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea. Contraceptive pills can cause endometrial hypoplasia and insufficient glandular secretion, so the endometrium cannot grow normally and becomes thinner, resulting in a decrease in menstrual volume. Some women experience amenorrhea due to excessive inhibitory effects of contraceptives, which results in no withdrawal bleeding after stopping the medication.

Weight gain. Some women gain weight after taking birth control pills because certain ingredients in birth control pills can cause weight gain. Especially in the first 3 months of taking oral contraceptives, the increased estrogen levels cause water and sodium retention, thus leading to weight gain in the second half of the menstrual cycle; progesterone promotes anabolism, leading to weight gain.

His face looked gloomy. After taking birth control pills, some women may experience a dull complexion, which is caused by pigmentation caused by estrogen.

There are two types of contraceptive pills: long-acting and short-acting. Generally, married women take long-acting ones more often. The adverse reactions of long-acting ones are relatively much smaller, but it is usually necessary to stop taking the medicine for a year before having children. Short-acting, which is emergency contraceptive, is the most harmful. If you only take it once, the serious consequences are dizziness, nausea, or late menstruation. However, if you take it more than twice a quarter or more than six times a year, it will cause damage to the female endocrine system. The mildest consequence is irregular menstruation, and the most serious consequence is endocrine disorders and other endocrine diseases, and there is a risk of reduced chance of conception.

The above is an introduction to the harm that taking birth control pills can cause to our bodies. I hope these contents can attract enough attention from young friends today. Birth control pills are not an ideal contraceptive measure. In case of occasional contraceptive failure, you can take birth control pills appropriately to remedy the situation, but they should not be taken for a long time.
