It's good that now a large selection of contraceptives and we no longer have to pay for the pleasure of frequent pregnancies. It remains only to choose a more suitable method for yourself. Quite often, ladies stop on contraceptive pills, but how to choose correctly among the entire range of oral contraceptives?
How to choose the right pill?
Probably, it is not necessary to remind that it is necessary to entrust the choice of contraceptive pills to the doctor, since oral contraceptives influence the hormonal background of the woman, and therefore her health. Therefore, to choose such pills, you need to be based on the individual indicators of each lady, and not because the exact same drug is taken by the girlfriend and "everything is fine with her." Also it is worth remembering the presence of contraindications to oral contraceptives:
- pregnancy;
- phlebeurysm;
- cirrhosis of the liver;
- damage to the blood vessels of the brain;
- psychosis;
- thromboembolic diseases;
- abnormal liver function;
- bronchial asthma;
- malignant tumors;
- epilepsy;
- diabetes;
- severe depression;
- diabetes;
- severe hypertension;
- giperrelidemia;
- rheumatic heart disease;
- sickle-cell anemia;
- thrombophlebitis;
- severe kidney disease;
- uterine bleeding;
- calculous cholecystitis;
- hyperprolactemia;
- obesity (III-IV degree).
Usually all these moments are taken into account by the gynecologist-endocrinologist, if necessary, the woman is sent for additional examination, and only on the basis of the received data it is recommended which oral contraceptives to choose. But we do not always go to the doctor even when this is absolutely necessary, but what can we say about such "trifles" as advice on what contraceptive pills to choose. Yes, this is wrong, but so often happens, women are ready to act at random, risking their own health. If for some reason you decided to do the same, then at least make sure that you have no contraindications to taking such drugs. And it is even better to pay attention to your own phenotype (this will help you understand which hormones you have higher) and take into account the recommendations of taking contraceptives regarding your age.
