What are the dangers of taking birth control pills?

In addition to condoms, the contraceptive tool commonly used by couples is the birth control pill. This method is relatively simple and effective as long as the pill is taken on time and in the correct dosage. However, contraceptives still have relatively large adverse effects on physical health. So what are some of the most common ones? Below, the editor will talk about this issue in detail.

The contraceptive mechanism of emergency contraceptive pills is mainly to achieve the purpose of post-coital contraception by interfering with the hormonal balance in the body to inhibit ovulation, or preventing the fertilized egg from implanting. Therefore, it is best to take less emergency contraceptive pills as they are extremely harmful. Emergency contraceptive pills use large doses of drugs to interfere with the function of the ovaries, inhibit ovulation, and thus produce a contraceptive effect. Its dosage is more than ten times that of conventional contraceptives, and it can cause great harm to women's ovarian function, liver and kidney metabolic system, or coagulation system, mainly causing nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, breast tenderness, slight weight gain, and depression. It may even cause cancers such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, liver adenoma, etc.

Menstrual disorders caused by long-term use of emergency contraceptives are usually difficult to regulate. The contraceptive pill itself interferes with the ovaries. It inhibits ovulation and prevents pregnancy. After taking it for a long time, some people will experience an increase in menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period, and may cause amenorrhea and even induce ovarian cysts. According to experts, people with conditions such as cerebrovascular or coronary artery disease, untreated high blood pressure, diabetes and vascular problems, those over 35 years old and smoking, those who are pregnant or may be pregnant, those with liver disease, and those with poor intestinal absorption should never take birth control pills.

Now everyone should be aware of the dangers of birth control pills, so don’t rely too much on these drugs in the future to avoid these adverse reactions. But what I want to tell you is that you can still take birth control pills when necessary during sexual life, but make sure it does not exceed three times within a year.
