Newlyweds generally do not have children immediately, so how do newlyweds use contraception? There are many methods of contraception, but what are they? How should newlyweds choose to enjoy a beautiful sexual life without harming themselves? Let's take a look!
Contraceptive mechanism
Contraception is a scientific method to prevent sperm and eggs from meeting, preventing women from temporarily becoming pregnant. The main purpose of contraception is to suppress ovulation, prevent sperm discharge, prevent the encounter between eggs and sperm, and interfere with the implantation of embryos in the uterine cavity to achieve the goal of contraception.
Common contraceptive methods
1. Hormonal contraception: oral contraceptives, patches, implant contraceptives, and medroxyprogesterone acetate injection;
2. Barrier methods: condoms, contraceptive diaphragms, and contraceptive sponges;
3. Other contraceptive methods: intrauterine contraceptive ring, natural contraceptive method and coitus interruptus method. Different contraceptive methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Different methods should be chosen based on the age, health status, number of children, and lifestyle habits of men and women.
Oral contraceptive pills
The main components of traditional oral contraceptives are estrogen and progesterone, which are similar to the natural estrogen and progesterone produced by the female ovaries. They will affect the maturation and release of eggs through a certain feedback mechanism, thereby achieving the goal of contraception. This is similar to the principle that the human body produces a large amount of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy to inhibit the maturation and release of ovarian eggs. The traditional short-term oral contraceptives have many advantages. First, they are safe and effective, and have a high contraceptive success rate; At the same time, it does not affect the quality of sexual life and there is no sense of isolation from condoms; Oral contraceptives do not affect fertility and are a completely reversible contraceptive method that can be considered for pregnancy after discontinuing medication. They have no impact on the fetus and can reduce the risk of ovarian or endometrial cancer; In addition, oral contraceptives can also bring more health benefits to women, such as regulating the menstrual cycle, alleviating dysmenorrhea, and reducing pelvic inflammatory disease.
The disadvantage of oral contraceptives is that a few women may experience mild discomfort when starting to take them, such as menstrual bleeding, headaches, or chest pain. These symptoms usually disappear after one to three months. Some oral contraceptives contain high doses of estrogen, and some women may experience side effects from taking these high-dose products. If changed to a low-dose formula, the side effects can be improved.
Oral contraceptives are suitable for single fixed sexual partners; If non fixed partners need to use condoms to prevent sexually transmitted diseases, the contraceptive effect of oral contraceptives is very reliable. The bil index for contraception is 0.03-1.0. That is to say, for every 1000 women who take regular oral contraceptives according to the instructions every year, less than 1 to 10 women will become pregnant.
Usage: Once a day, take continuously for three weeks, stop taking for one week (until menstruation), and then take note: check before taking the medicine, check three months after taking the medicine, and check once a year later. Adverse reactions of oral contraceptives include irregular vaginal bleeding, nausea, swelling, retention of water and sodium, elevated blood pressure, breast enlargement, migraine, emotional disorders and other contraindications of oral contraceptives: liver disease, untreated hypertension, high triglycerides, kidney disease, thrombotic diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Will oral contraceptives affect the future of children?
Oral contraceptives are a reliable and completely reversible contraceptive method. Pregnancy can be considered after discontinuation of medication, and pregnancy after discontinuation has no impact on the fetus. However, it is generally recommended to stop taking medication for one month and wait for menstruation to recover before getting pregnant, in order to calculate the expected delivery period. The correct use of contraceptive pills can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, and the longer the use, the lower the risk.
