Find out the effective ways to prevent pregnancy

Couples who are sexually active are aware that unprotected sexual encounters may lead to the risk of pregnancy. Until now condoms were the most common form of contraception. Soon some unexpected situations of condom tears or slips were reported, due to which people started looking for a more reliable contraception method. This is when birth control pills came into picture. With the introduction of hormonal contraception, women now have more control over their sex lives. These oral prescription pills consist of artificial female hormones which help in preventing unplanned pregnancy.

On the basis of hormones present, the contraceptive pill can either be combined contraceptive pills or mini-pills. The combination pills are composed of synthetic versions of naturally-occurring female hormones in the female body, called oestrogen and progestogen. While mini-pills only contain synthetic progestogen and are used especially by women who cannot take pills that contain oestrogen. Mini-pills are also taken by women who are above 35 years of age and are regular smokers.

Yasmin is the most popular combined contraceptive pill which is nearly 100% effective in preventing unexpected pregnancy. It has gained popularity amongst women across the globe in a short time, owing to its unique quality of reducing the risk of weight gain. The primary active ingredients of this pill are ethinylestradiol and drospirenone. These are the artificial forms of oestrogen and progestogen respectively. This medication is also sometimes prescribed to women who have heavy, painful or irregular periods. It is also known to treat acne and skin related problems and significantly improves the condition of hair.

Birth control pills work by tricking your body into thinking that ovulation has already occurred. This prevents the release of an egg from the ovaries. This pill also causes thickening of cervical mucus due to which it becomes difficult for a sperm to penetrate into the womb. In addition, it prevents the thickening of the womb lining so that an egg cannot attach itself and grow. You can buy Yasmin if you are above 18 years of age and are looking for an effective low dosage pill to prevent pregnancy. However, you should avoid taking this medication if you are already pregnant. You may also be unable to take this pill if you have had any of the following conditions: a stroke or blood clot, jaundice, abnormal vaginal bleeding, uterine or breast cancer, kidney and liver diseases, or high blood pressure.

Contraceptive pills like Yasmin should be taken on the first day of your period as it provides you with instant protection from pregnancy. Sometimes this pill can also be started from the fifth day of your menstrual cycle, but then you will need to use extra barrier protection for the next seven days. It is taken for 21 days of your period after which there is a break of seven days during which you will be protected against getting pregnant. You can buy birth control pill online from any of the registered clinics where a medical heath adviser will guide you more about it.
