5 amazing benefits of the morning-after pill

Contraceptive pills are not unfamiliar to adult men and women, but everyone only knows its surface and does not know its other secrets. In addition to contraception, it has many other uses, but these uses only work when the right methods are used.

Used to treat excessive bleeding

If short-term contraceptives are used to refer to excessive functional uterine bleeding, there is a 90% chance of success. The dosage should be determined according to the woman's physical condition and medical condition. Generally, one or two tablets a day are sufficient, and it should be used for three to five days in a row to be effective. If the condition is serious, you can take more tablets. It is best to take it every 8 or 12 hours. How long it takes is very important. Because bleeding will start again once the medication is stopped, and we certainly don't want the bleeding to start again right after it has stopped, so we take the medication for more than 20 days so that the next bleeding will be about 1 month later.

Menopause and menstruation regulation

If functional uterine bleeding occurs during menopause, it is best not to use contraceptives unless uterine bleeding or hemorrhage occurs. Because birth control pills have the pharmacological effects of both estrogen and progesterone, even if the patient's ovaries no longer secrete female hormones, birth control pills will still cause you to have false menstruation, and this can last until you are in your sixties or seventies. How annoying that is. So if you use progesterone but no bleeding occurs, it means that the patient's ovaries have stopped secreting estrogen, and you can stop this troublesome cycle treatment. And because the ovaries are no longer functional, the dysfunctional uterine bleeding will never recur or cause an illness. How wonderful!

However, I would like to remind everyone that if it is not because of Chinese medicine, it is best not to abuse this method to delay menstruation, because contraceptives may affect the feedback and balance mechanism of hormones in the body, artificially disrupt the natural cycle, and cause menstrual disorders. If you use it once in a while, it's generally not a big problem. Using progesterone acetate is better than using birth control pills.

Dysmenorrhea troubles many women. Although the pain will be alleviated a little after marriage or after giving birth, it is still a bad feeling. Therefore, many women choose to use contraceptive pills to suppress ovulation and relieve menstrual pain, which are mostly effective. However, if a girl suffers from dysmenorrhea, it is best not to use birth control pills, because it may disrupt the natural regulation and balance of hormones in the body.

Can reduce menstrual flow

Taking birth control pills periodically can reduce the amount of menstruation and shorten the menstrual cycle. However, if the menstrual flow is too heavy, you can change the general method, such as taking the medicine from the second day of menstruation, or even from the first day. In this way, you will not have to take it for a total of 22 days. If you start taking it from the second day, you will have to take it for about 26 days. Anyway, stop taking it for about three days to have blood coming, and the cycle is exactly 30 days. When the menstrual flow begins to decrease, slowly reduce the dosage to one tablet per night and maintain it.

The above are the other wonderful uses of contraceptive pills that I know of. I don’t know if they are useful to you, so I can only introduce them to you here so that you will not be unprepared when you need to use them.
