Contraceptive pill – A Wonder for Sexually Active Women
A safe contraception method is what married couples look for in order to prevent unexpected pregnancy. The sexually active people do not want to rely on any means which fails to give them complete assurance. This is the reason the use of condoms has lowered as compared to other forms of contraception, owing to contraceptive accidents such as condom slip and tear. The use of contraceptive pills has increased tremendously as they offer almost 100% protection against pregnancy and it is convenient for every woman. Contraceptive pills are classified as combined contraceptive pill and mini-pill. The combined contraceptive pill is one which contains two hormones, while mini-pill consists of only one hormone. This is the reason mini-pill is also sometimes referred to as ‘progestogen-only pill’.
Cerazette pill is a well-known mini-pill which has proved to be highly effective in preventing pregnancy. As discussed earlier, mini-pill contains only one synthetic female hormone i.e. oestrogen. It is commonly prescribed to women who are breastfeeding, above the age of 35 or women who are likely to develop adverse effects because of oestrogen. It works in three ways to protect against pregnancy. It starts working by preventing the process of ovulation so that no egg is released by the ovaries. It also makes the entry of a sperm into the womb difficult by thickening the mucus of cervix and amends the womb lining due to which an egg to is unable to attach itself and grow.
Dianette is a combined contraceptive pill which is highly popular amongst women who suffer from hirsutism or have acne as it can treat both the conditions well. It is almost 100% effective in protecting you against unplanned pregnancy. This medication should be taken for 21 days of your menstrual cycle followed by a break of seven days. It works in the similar three ways as other contraceptive pill in order to prevent pregnancy. You can buy Dianette even online from any of the registered pharmacies. This medication is also available in a special calendar pack so that it becomes easier for you to track when you need to take the pill. The possible side effects of this pill are weight gain, nausea, headache, stomach upset, and decreased sex drive.
Cilest pill is another combination pill which is helpful not only in preventing pregnancy, but also in reducing heavy and painful periods. Just like other contraceptive pills, it should be taken for 21 days in a row followed by a pill-free break of seven days. It is better if you start taking this pill from the first day of your period. However, if you forget to take it on the first day then you can wait up to the fifth day of period to take the pill. Since a contraceptive pill takes around seven days to start working, you are required to use an extra barrier contraceptive for the next seven days. You should avoid taking this pill if you are already pregnant, breastfeeding or suffering from health complication related to heart, liver and kidney.
