Readers often leave us messages:

Penis, can contraceptives relieve dysmenorrhea?

It is said that taking contraceptives can reduce acne, is this true?

First of all, it should be made clear that the contraceptives mentioned here refer to short-acting contraceptives, not emergency contraceptives taken afterwards. There is a big difference between the two.

Let’s make a comparison.

ROUND 1: Validity

The overall effectiveness of emergency contraception is only about 80%, and many factors will affect the medication effect.

Another example is bad luck.

Short-acting contraceptives are much more reliable. If taken strictly in accordance with the drug instructions, the contraceptive effective rate can reach 98% ~ 99%.

ROUND 2: Side Effects

The side effects of emergency contraception are relatively large. Common side effects include nausea, headache, irregular menstruation, etc., which can often cause menstrual disorders for several consecutive months.

The side effects of short-acting contraceptives are relatively small.

It may cause nausea, vomiting, breast pain, headache, dizziness, fatigue, etc., but the general duration is not more than 24 hours.

Individual women will have vaginal drip bleeding after taking drugs, which generally does not need treatment. If they persist in taking drugs for 1-3 months, the symptoms will usually disappear.

ROUND 3: [Additional Features]

The function of emergency contraception is the same as the literal meaning, and it is only applicable to contraceptive needs in emergency situations.

Such as failure of conventional contraception (such as condom falling off), unwanted unprotected sex (such as rape), etc.

Never use it as a conventional contraceptive method.

Short-acting contraceptives not only can realize effective contraception, but also have [additional functions] to deal with some diseases.
