1, the health debate on contraceptives
Birth control pills can cause obesity?
Recipient: How? It's incredible. Birth control pills are also good diet pills! There is a saying that people who take birth control pills for a long time can make the oil active and not too exuberant. In this way, not only the body fat will be reduced, but also the acne on the face will disappear, and the skin will become more and more delicate, and the body and skin will get a win-win effect.
Pro: Contraceptive pills can easily lead to endocrine disorders and lead to obesity. Excessive use of birth control pills will seriously destroy endocrine, make the body unbalanced, and to some extent, increase food intake, lead to weight gain, lose shape, and even lose weight.
Expert attitude: Only a few women are very sensitive to hormone reactions, so they gradually gain weight when taking birth control pills. Most people still keep their weight or change little, which may be the result of progesterone. It should also be noted that many women attribute the weight change after taking birth control pills to birth control pills, while ignoring the changes in life details. In fact, diet, working hours, sleep quality and other factors are the "culprits" that lead to weight gain or loss, not contraceptives. In addition, the theory of contraceptive beauty slimming has no exact scientific basis, so use it with caution!
Is there a cancer risk of taking medicine for a long time?
Counterparty: Cancer has nothing to do with birth control pills, right? Can normal contraception also lead to cancer? It has been reported that women can still get the protection of contraceptives after stopping 15 years. The contraceptive pill has a high success rate, which greatly reduces the number of induced abortions, avoids habitual abortion and reduces the probability of cervical cancer.
Pro: If the balance in the body is disturbed, the chances of developing uterine cancer, breast cancer and ovarian cancer will increase. Birth control pills can reduce the secretion of estrogen. If you take it for a long time, the estrogen required by the breast and endometrium will be greatly reduced. Once they are out of balance for a long time, diseases will occur.
Expert attitude: There is no clear answer whether taking birth control pills will increase the risk of cancer. However, according to the recent announcement of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, contraceptives containing estrogen and progesterone can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer, but the risk of cervical cancer, breast cancer and liver cancer has increased. Dr Peters in Germany believes that cervical cancer is caused by viruses transmitted during sexual life, and the frequency of sexual life of women who take birth control pills is generally higher than that of women who do not take birth control pills.
Birth control pills delay menopause?
Contrary: menopause has a great relationship with people's physique, quality of life and family heredity, and has nothing to do with contraceptives. The role of contraceptives is only: "effectively prevent pregnancy." If it rises to the height of delaying menopause, it will be amazing! Menopause has a lot to do with living habits, physical fitness, quality of life and family inheritance, while others should have little influence. Moreover, the abuse of emergency contraceptives will also make women enter invisible menopause, leading to early menopause.
Pro: Birth control pills can make us younger! Quantitative and scientific use of contraceptives has a certain regulatory effect, keeping the human body in a balanced state. The endocrine ups and downs that are easy to occur with age will not appear. This "stability" is the best guarantee to postpone menopause.
Expert attitude: sweating, sleep disorders, mood swings. This situation proves that your menopause is coming soon, and women who use birth control pills as a contraceptive method, under the action of drugs, their hormones are in a stable state and there will be no obvious menopause. However, German experts confirmed that although contraceptives can alleviate the discomfort of menopause, they cannot be used to postpone the date of menopause. As for whether hormone therapy is needed after menopause, it is up to the doctor to decide whether it varies from person to person, rather than taking drugs without authorization.
Often take birth control pills, and the quality of the same room declines?
Counterparty: How can desire be related to birth control pills? A woman's desire should depend on her partner's emotional state, tacit understanding, eating habits, whether she has gynecological diseases and whether she is under great pressure recently. Contraceptive pills should not have such great "magic power" to control women's desires!
Pro: Regular use of birth control pills will limit the secretion of estrogen, and there will be "little rain" in the back garden. Of course, the quality of sex will not be satisfactory. Improper use of contraceptives can easily lead to dryness of female private parts. In the process of husband and wife's life, pain occurs in private parts, which leads to the decrease of women's interest in sex life.
Expert attitude: Women's desire is related to health, stress, eating habits and other factors. In addition, women who take contraceptives for a long time have higher levels of sex hormone-binding globulin, which is wrapped in testosterone, making it unable to play a role in regulating sexual function. Testosterone is the key substance to regulate women's desire, normal metabolism and mental health. When the secretion of testosterone decreases, the desire of women will naturally decrease. And this phenomenon will continue for some time after stopping using contraceptives.
You can take birth control pills at any time.
Counterparty: you can change a contraceptive method to reduce the adverse reactions of drugs to the body! It's a three-point poison Taking birth control pills for a long time increases the burden on the liver and kidneys, and also has some adverse effects on the digestive system of the gastrointestinal tract, thus reducing health.
Pro: If this contraceptive method is effective and there is no uncomfortable feeling, why not continue it all the time? Nowadays, the ingredients of birth control pills are more and more humanized, and the side effects on the human body are gradually reduced, and the contraceptive effect is good. Compared with surgical contraception, it is safer and will not affect normal pregnancy after withdrawal; Compared with condom contraception, it enhances the contact between two people and makes sexual life more perfect. So it can be used as a long-term contraceptive method!
Expert attitude: Dr. Klaus Peters, a gynecologist in Hamburg, Germany, has his own opinion on birth control pills: "How long do you take birth control pills?" You can take birth control pills all year round, don't worry! " However, it should be noted that if there are some bad conditions in your body, such as blood circulation disorder, dryness of female private parts, chest tightness or mood swings, it proves that you are a taboo group of contraceptives and stop using them immediately. And it is best to develop the good habit of having a gynecological examination every six months, especially when you are over 35 years old.
2. Take birth control pills
When taking birth control pills, you should pay attention to the following points:
1, you must form a good habit of taking all kinds of contraceptives accurately, on time and in quantity, and the taking time cannot be changed or extended at will. Don't miss it or be late. If it is found missing, take it the next day, otherwise it will easily lead to irregular bleeding or contraceptive failure.
2. Contraceptive pills should be properly kept to prevent children from taking them by mistake. Do not take pills that are wet, melted, or have worn or crushed sugar coating, so as not to affect the contraceptive effect or cause bleeding in women's private parts.

4. People with acute or chronic hepatitis, nephritis, tumor, diabetes, thrombotic diseases, heart disease and severe hypertension should not take it.
