Before choosing contraceptive pills, women also need to understand them in detail, so that when they take them, they will know whether it is an option, whether it has any harm to their health, and what are the side effects of taking contraceptive pills?

Side effects of taking birth control pills:

1. Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and 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. For some women who have more severe reactions, they 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; anti-reaction tablets, 1 tablet each time, 3 times a day; compound aluminum hydroxide tablets or yeast tablets, 1 gram each time, once a day, taken together with contraceptives.

2. 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. 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. Of course, you can also ask your doctor to adjust the medication, or you can change to other contraceptives. For example, if you bleed after taking No. 2 contraceptive, you can switch to No. 1 contraceptive.

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.

The above is a detailed introduction to the side effects of taking birth control pills. When choosing this type of medicine, you also need to have a detailed understanding of these so that you can feel at ease when choosing it. However, it should be noted that if you have an allergic reaction when taking birth control pills, you should not choose such medicine.
