What are the side effects of taking regular birth control pills?

Many couples become careless during sexual intercourse and are particularly worried about getting pregnant afterwards, so they often take contraceptive pills to prevent pregnancy. Although this method of contraception is more effective and many people find it convenient, ordinary contraceptives are very harmful to the body. So what specific adverse effects will it have on you?

1. Feeling unwell. Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weakness. This often happens when you start taking a medication. When this reaction occurs, on the one hand, you can drink some strong tea, chew some candied ginger, and pickles; on the other hand, you must insist on taking the medication as prescribed. As the body adapts to the medication, the reaction will gradually disappear. Some women have more severe reactions and can take the following reaction-suppressing drugs appropriately: vitamin B6, 20 mg each time, 3 times a day; vitamin C, 100 mg per second, 3 times a day, taken together with contraceptives.

2. Increased vaginal discharge. Leucorrhea increases and becomes thinner. It often occurs after taking long-acting contraceptives. Generally, no treatment is required. If there is too much leucorrhea, you can put a Chinese medicine tablet in the vagina every night.

3. Vaginal bleeding. Intermittent vaginal bleeding. It often occurs after missing a dose of birth control pills. Generally, as long as you continue to take the pills on time, the bleeding will stop and your menstrual period will return to normal.

4. Lack of menstruation or even amenorrhea. This condition does not have much impact on physical health and is often temporary. If you have amenorrhea for three consecutive months, you should stop taking the medication, take other contraceptive measures, and resume taking the medication after menstruation resumes on its own. If menstruation still does not occur within one month after stopping the medication, you should ask your doctor to use drugs such as medroxyprogesterone acetate, combined progesterone or menstrual induction tablets to induce menstruation based on the examination results. After that, you should switch to other contraceptives.

After reading this, everyone should understand the side effects of ordinary contraceptives, so you must be cautious and do not take them casually just because the success rate of taking this type of medicine is relatively high, otherwise you will not be able to avoid these adverse reactions.
