You Decide Your Time!
After marriage , a cute baby who looks like his wife and himself decorates the dreams of all brides -to-be. But the important thing here is when you want this baby. Family planning is also already; couples can have as many children as they want, whenever they want.
It is regrettable for our society that the harms of unintended or terminated pregnancies to women's health are not known and that abortion is still perceived as a method. Despite the high risk of accidental pregnancy, the fact that the 'withdrawal' method is still used by 20% of the society and the fact that the benefits of the methods other than contraception are not known are waiting as a huge obstacle to the effective use of contraception methods.
WOMAN IS A MIRACLE
The most important thing you should know about birth control methods is that no method is 100% successful, because the female organism
It is equipped with an excellent mechanism for conception and makes its body suitable for a normal pregnancy every month. Method
Our aim is to minimize the possibility of conception while using it. Today, the most protective method is birth control pills, and the lowest is the calendar or withdrawal method.
PROTECTION METHODS AND ACTIVITIES
Birth Control Pills (oral contraceptives):
Most contain 21 tablets. Forms containing 28 tablets have just been released to the market and provide advantages in terms of easy and uninterrupted use. Each pill contains lab-made derivatives of hormones synthesized in a normal woman's ovary, and when the pill is taken, they temporarily stop ovulation by stopping the synthesis that takes place in the ovary. After a gynecologist examination, you should definitely start birth control pills with hormone-containing varieties in doses recommended by your doctor. The pills should be taken on a full stomach at the same time each day. If you experience an unexpected side effect (such as headache, visual disturbance, chest pain, pain in the legs, stomachache), you should consult your doctor. In addition, even if no side effects are observed, I recommend you to have a detailed gynecological examination 3 months after the first use and at least once a year thereafter.
Positive and Negative Effects of Birth Control Pills
When we look at the positive effects, it prevents unnecessary blood loss by regulating the menstrual cycle, reduces menstrual pain, reduces acne, acne, hair growth rates, relatively protects from uterine and ovarian cancer, ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cysts, fibrocystic breast disease, pelvic infection, endometriosis and also atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). ) and reducing the risk of rheumatoid arthritis, providing protection in terms of bone resorption by preserving bone density, we come across quite satisfactory features. The most feared side effect is that they can cause vascular occlusion due to increased clotting tendency. This effect has become rare due to the low-dose drugs used today, however, if it is used under the supervision of a doctor, this risk will be minimized. Although studies on breast cancer and cervical cancer continue, women using birth control pills have annual gynecological examinations.
Among the more consistent follow-up effects, cancer types (breast, cervix) that can be detected at an early stage by examination may occur more frequently. This situation can be reflected in the statistics as 'cervical cancer and breast cancer are more common in those who use birth control pills'. Nausea-vomiting, hypertension, spotting, depression, decreased libido (sexual desire), depression, weight gain, negative effects on milk secretion during breastfeeding, increased breast tenderness, headache, benign tumor formation in the liver,
There may also be rare side effects such as headache. However, when we calculate the cost and loss in the use of birth control pills, it is obvious that its use will provide a high advantage.
