What should I pay attention to when taking birth control pills?

1. In the case of this emergency contraceptive, patients should pay attention to taking it orally within 72 hours after the same room. The sooner you take the medicine, the better the effect. However, you should pay attention. No matter short-term oral contraceptives or emergency contraceptives, the contraceptive effect can not reach 100%. Emergency contraception can only be taken three times a year, not too often. Regular use can cause irregular menstruation and infertility. Taking medicine will have some side effects, such as dizziness, nausea and vomiting, and there will be bleeding in a week or so. It can be taken with vitamin C to reduce some side effects.

2. After taking emergency contraception, be careful not to have unprotected sex during this period. If vomiting occurs, take it once immediately. If the amount of bleeding is small, it is not menstrual bleeding, which means it is not withdrawal bleeding. You should go to the hospital in time to see if you are pregnant. Generally speaking, most women's menstruation will come on time, but some women's menstruation will be advanced or postponed. If menstruation is delayed for a week, it is necessary to use a pregnancy test stick in time to see if contraception has failed.

3. All kinds of contraceptives must form a good habit of taking accurately, on time and in quantity, and the taking time shall not be changed or extended at will. Don't miss or be late. If it is found missing, take it the next day, otherwise it will easily lead to irregular bleeding or contraceptive failure. Contraceptive pills should be properly kept to prevent children from taking them by mistake. If the tablets are wet, melted or the sugar coating is worn or crushed, do not take them, so as not to affect the contraceptive effect or cause vaginal bleeding.

Before using birth control pills, go to the hospital for a health check to see if there are any diseases that are not suitable for using birth control pills. Pay attention to the medication time. A few women will have nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue and other reactions after taking contraceptives, such as taking short-acting contraceptives at dinner or before going to bed and taking long-acting contraceptives after lunch, which can alleviate the reaction. Long-acting contraceptives should not be stopped suddenly, and short-acting contraceptives should be used continuously for 2 ~ 3 months after stopping to avoid irregular vaginal bleeding.
