Side effects of contraceptives
Taking the contraceptive pill is actually to inhibit or interrupt the normal state of the neuroendocrine axis, which has a certain impact on the body. Although it's not a big problem to interfere once by chance, it can't be done often. The side effects of taking contraceptives are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Bad appetite, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and weakness. Often at the beginning of the medication. When this kind of reaction occurs, on the one hand, you can drink some strong tea, chew some sugar and ginger, and pickle; on the other hand, you should stick to taking medicine according to regulations, and the reaction will gradually disappear as the body adapts to the medicine. Some women have severe reactions. They can take the following drugs to inhibit the reactions: vitamin B6, 20mg each time, 3 times a day; vitamin C, 1o0mg per second, 3 times a day; anti reaction tablets, 1 tablet each time, 3 times a day; compound aluminum hydroxide tablets or yeast tablets, 1g each time, 1 time a day, with the contraceptive.
2. Leucorrhea increased and thinned. Often occurs after taking long-term contraceptives, generally without treatment, if leucorrhea is too much, you can put a traditional Chinese medicine in the vagina every night.
3. Vaginal intermittent bleeding. It often occurs after the missed pill is taken. Generally, as long as you continue taking the pill on time, the bleeding can stop, and the menstrual period will be normal. Of course, you can also ask a doctor to adjust the medicine, or you can change to take other contraceptives. If you take No. 2 contraceptive for bleeding, you can use No. 1 contraceptive instead.
4. Menorrhagia, even amenorrhea. This situation has little impact on health, often temporarily. If amenorrhea lasts for 3 months, you should stop taking medicine, take other contraceptive measures, and continue taking medicine after menstruation recovers. If menstruation still does not occur within 1 month after discontinuation of the drug, the doctor should be invited to use medroxyprogesterone, compound progesterone or menstruation promoting tablets and other drugs to promote menstruation according to the examination, and then other contraceptives should be used.
5. Weight gain is too fast. If there is edema, diuretics and low salt food should be used; if the weight is increasing significantly, other contraceptive methods should be used instead of drugs.
6. Brown spots on the face. Generally, it will disappear gradually after drug withdrawal. If you take vitamin B and vitamin C, the effect will be better.
7. Breast pain. Generally, it can be reduced. If it is serious, the drug should be stopped and other contraceptive measures should be selected.
The harm of taking contraceptives

The severity and symptoms of the situation will vary from person to person. In addition, taking more contraceptives also has a certain impact on fertility.

2. The contraceptive will increase the level of lipoprotein, promote the rise of blood pressure and arteriosclerosis.
