How does contraception affect women's health?

Leading an active sex life requires responsibility. First of all, because of the significant risks associated with sexually transmitted diseases. In such cases, mechanical methods work best — mainly condoms. But many women prefer to use other types of protection against unwanted pregnancy. Hormonal drugs are at the forefront of this process. How does contraception affect a woman's health and what use can it have besides the obvious prevention? This is discussed below.

Hormonal contraception, used regularly, can also prevent some health problems.

Painful periods are a problem for many women. Birth control medications with estrogens and progestogens can relieve this pain and menstruation. Consultation with a gynecologist is crucial here, as the causes may be developmental defects. Soreness in other cases can be treated with birth control pills, which not only reduce the problem, but also have a beneficial effect on reducing heavy periods.

By constantly using contraceptives, you can completely eliminate monthly bleeding — for example, if you have a vacation planned and you want to exercise, sunbathe, etc. without interruption. The absence of menstruation has absolutely no negative effect on the functioning of the body, but it should be remembered that such a solution should not be abused.

It is worth remembering that hormonal drugs do not have a cosmetic function. Even if some patients have improved skin appearance, this does not mean that contraception is an effective weapon in the fight against acne or hirsutism.

Contrary to popular belief, birth control pills don't make you fat. They also do not increase the risk of developing cancer. In addition, hormonal contraception reduces the risk of developing endometrial, ovarian, and endometrial cancer in women over the age of 50. It is important to apply it systematically for several decades. But keep in mind that, according to some oncologists, pills can increase the risk of breast cancer in young women who have never given birth.

When is contraception associated with risk? Contraindications to its use remain, including:

• thromboembolic diseases such as stroke or heart attack, as well as inflammatory venous diseases;
• cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, asthma, blood clotting disorders (also porphyria or bleeding from the genitals);
• liver cancer and liver inflammation;
• diabetes mellitus with complications;
• pancreatitis (acute or chronic, both current and past);
• tumors of the genitals, breast, pituitary gland;
• hypersensitivity to the components of the drug (mainly to excipients);
• Protein deficiency and anemia;
• in women over 35 years of age who also smoke cigarettes, since nicotine in combination with estrogens from drugs can have an even stronger negative effect on the cardiovascular system.
