“Contraceptive” is a term that was once taboo; the usage of which meant that the couple, mostly the woman, was someone who was looked down by her societal peers and other elders. Today, however, the term is one, which is commonly used by all, and it does not cause quite the furor anymore.
With a variety of contraceptives available today for men and women to choose from, the industry is one that is thriving, to say at the least. Contraceptives may be intrauterine (inserted into the uterus of the women and attached there like Cu-T which release Cu ions during the times of ovulation that either kill the ova or make the uterine wall unviable for implantation), a physical barrier that prevent the contact of any body fluid contact (like condoms), and pills (these are what the article will be focussing on).
Contraceptive pills (https://www.pharmacyreviews365.com/) have a very simple mechanism of working. These pills are hormone pills, to put it simply. These are combinations of estrogen and progesterone that come in packages of 21 days or 28 days. The woman is required to take them every day for as many days as the package stipulates at the same time, each day. These pills prevent ovulation, and when there is no egg to fertilize, there is no chance at all for conception. Some pills also affect the mucous lining at the cervix and make it thick, as an additional step to make sure conception is prevented, even if ovulation does take place as the sperms do not make it past the extra thick mucous lining. These pills are also capable of preventing implantation. Other combinations allow for the women to take pills continuously for twelve weeks that reduces the frequency of their period from once a month to once in three months.
In short, these pills are extremely effective as contraceptive measures, but they most definitely mess with the biochemical mechanisms of the body. Thus it is better to think twice before you start popping these pills.
Though most of these pills disputedly have no side effects, it is better to opt for contraceptive methods that are impermanent and stay outside of our bodies. Opting for the other kinds of contraceptives, though they might look impeccable in theory, is an option that we might regret in the future in case something goes wrong in application leading to the woman having problems while conceiving in the future.
