Can the mood deteriorate from contraceptives. Common side effects of oral contraceptives

Doctor of Medical Sciences, Leading Researcher of the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Limphology with RAMS, doctor of the highest category, obstetrician-gynecologist of the Medical Center "United" Tatyana Dergacheva I am sure that the female health is oral contraceptives, nothing except harm.

"In a special literature (as a rule, domestic, but with reference to foreign sources of a decade ago), it is reported that oral contraceptives, in addition to their main action - contraceptive - have some useful properties," says Tatiana Ivanovna. - In particular, according to some gynecologists interested in spreading oral contraceptives, contraceptive pills reduce the risk of developing endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, benign breast tumor.

However, recent studies conducted in this area with foreign specialists clearly show that oral contraceptives can cause significant harm to the health of a woman. Interestingly, those scientists who previously said that hormonal contraceptive drugs can be useful, now claim the opposite. There are many studies that confirm that estrogens contained in oral contraceptives are able to activate oncogenes and launch the malignant cell growth. It is noted that the longer the woman applies contraceptives, the higher the risk of developing a malignant tumor.

For example, quite recently, the World Health Organization's experts concluded that the reception of oral contraceptives can provoke the development of cervical cancer in women infected with the papilloma virus. When using hormonal contraceptives for more than five years, the risk of this is three times, and if the woman takes tablets for more than ten years, the probability of cancer development is four times.

Now all over the world is incidence of breast cancer. One of the reasons for growth is oral contraceptives. This was a single message at the European Conference on Breast Cancer, held recently in Barcelona. In a ten-year study, scientists from Norway, Sweden and France took part. During this time, they analyzed the data on health over 100 thousand women aged from 30 to 50 years. As a result, experts came to the conclusion that if the woman once enjoyed contraceptive pills, then the risk of development of breast cancer in it is almost 30 percent. With long-term reception of oral contraceptives, the risk of breast cancer, according to their data, increases to 60 percent! At the same time, all these women took tablets containing very small doses of hormones.

  • - On this side effects of oral contraceptives are exhausted?

    - Tatiana Ivanovna, currently gynecologists actively prescribe oral contraceptives in the menstrual cycle violations. They argue that as a result of treatment, the cycle is fully normalized.

    - I am categorically against such a "treatment". Before appointing any medicine, it is necessary to find out the cause of certain violations and eliminate it. Oral contraceptives only create the visibility of well-being, but in fact only aggravate the position, drive into the problem of deep into. Women who were appointed contraceptives, sooner or later, still forced to contact the doctor, but by this time the state of health deteriorates even more. And it is already harder to help them.

    In addition, there are a lot of contraindications to the appointment of oral contraceptives. These are oncological diseases in the family, all gynecological diseases, diseases of vessels, hearts, liver, kidneys, violations of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, atherosclerosis, diseases of the gallbladder, obesity, mental illness among the nearest relatives. I observed a patient who, as a result of the introduction of an injection contraceptive, severe depression developed. The woman tried to commit suicide. It would be unlikely that I would then associate the introduction of hormones and a depressive state, if not read by me on the eve of the message of foreign specialists who proved that some injectable contraceptive drugs are really able to cause severe depression.

    - How can women be protected?

    - A socially prosperous woman will never take oral contraceptives. Because she respects himself. And her pregnancy will always be planned. If in the family between a woman and a man harmonious relationships built on mutual respect, then there are no problems in such a family. As a rule, the woman expects the time of ovulation and refrain from sexual proximity to the man during the highest risk to get pregnant. This period, many women feel physically. Someone has a low belly, the intestinal bloom occurs, pain can irradiate (give) to the rectum, food addictions may occur - each woman has their own. But if proximity to a man is inevitable (during this period, some women increases sexual excitability), then a condom can be used.

    MS Note. I personally know the testimony of a woman who was prescribed the drug Zoeli for hormonal correction of endometriosis. A month before the start of a new cycle, it developed a very strong pain in the field of small pelvis ("as if I give birth") and migraine. On this "treatment" she stopped.

    Let's see directly into the instructions for the use of one of the oral hormonal contraceptives (in principle, contraindications and side effects for all hormonal tablets the same). Pay attention to the abundance of possible deterioration in health and negative impacts on the woman's body. It is clearly clear that this tool is malicious to humans.

    Not to mention the fact that this is one of the most expensive "pleasures" not to have children. The average cost of the monthly rate at least 900 - 1000 rubles.

    Diseases associated with thrombosis (now or in the past).

    Signs of myocardial infarction (for example, angina or zadrocked pain) or stroke (for example, a transient brain circulation disorder), who are currently disturbing or noted in the past.

    Sugar diabetes with vascular complications.

    Jaundice or severe liver diseases.

    Breast cancer or genital organs at present or in the past.

    A benign or malignant liver tumor at present or in the past.

    Vaginal bleeding, the cause of which is unclear.

    Pregnancy or suspected pregnancy.

    During the feeding of the child with breasts.

    Allergies to any components of the drug.

    When taking combination oral contraceptives, irregular bleeding (cargo bleeding or breakthrough bleeding) may be occurring, especially during the first months of application.

    Against the background of the reception of combined oral contraceptives, women were observed and other unwanted effects, the relationship of which was not confirmed with the reception of drugs, but not refuted.

    From the digestive system: often - nausea, abdominal pain; Infrequently - vomiting, diarrhea.

    From the CNS: often - asthenic syndrome, headache, reduced mood, mood swings, nervousness; infrequently - migraine, reduced libido; Rarely - the increase in libido.

    From the side of the organ of view: rarely - intolerance to contact lenses (unpleasant sensations when wearing them).

    From the side of the sexual system: often - pain in lactic glands, heat of the mammary glands, impaired menstrual cycle, candidiasis of the vagina, uterine bleeding; infrequently - mammary hypertrophy; Rarely - vaginal discharge, discharge from the mammary glands.

    From the side of the skin and its appendages: often - acne; infrequently - rash, urticaria; Rarely - noded erythema, multiform erythema.

    Others: often - an increase in body weight; Infrequently - fluid delay; Rarely - reducing body weight, hypersensitivity reactions.

    As with the reception of other combined oral contraceptives in rare cases, the development of thrombosis and thromboembolism is possible.

    In women with hereditary angioity edema, estrogen can cause or exacerbate his symptoms.

    Hormonal depression

    In the modern world, depression is a very common mental disorder. This pathology is often developing against the background of violation of the hormonal balance. Due to the natural features of the body, men are more resistant to hormonal failures, so the depressive state is more often developing in women.

    Hormonal depression is distinguished by obvious signs. First of all, the woman disappears the desire to do anything. With the development of the depressive state, there is a complete loss of vital energy, and mental weakness occurs. The woman closes and tries to sort out himself, but, unfortunately, all attempts remain unsuccessful.

    Other common emotional symptoms:

    • Flameness. Any careless word can hurt a woman and provoke tears.
    • Sentimentality. It manifests itself in the fact that even no remarkable events can touched a woman.
    • Irritability. Despite the lack of vital energy, a woman often provokes anonymous quarrels and scandals in their surroundings.
    • Illuminated requirements for comfort. Any discomfort causes a mass of negative uncontrolled emotions.
    • The emergence of a constant feeling of inner loneliness.
    • The emergence of the desire to blame everyone around in the problems arising and vital nonsellays.
    • Development of household phobias, against the background of what a woman begins to predict dangerous situations.
    • The emergence of problems with the concentration of attention, which often worsens the quality of the work performed and reduces performance.
    • Development of chronic fatigue syndrome.
    • Also as a result of hormonal failure, there may be violations of the menstrual cycle. In some cases, the worsening of the overall state of health is possible. Emotional symptoms are often accompanied by:

    • An increase in blood pressure.
    • Increasing body temperature.
    • Violation of the functions of the digestive system.
    • The emergence of insomnia.
    • The appearance of pain in various parts of the body.
    • Call depressively can various factors. Among the main causes of a natural nature can be allocated:

    • Hereditary predisposition;
    • Menopause;
    • Infertility;
    • Pregnancy and childbirth.
    • As you know, the hormonal balance is changing in critical days. But in this case, the depressive condition is always short-term and with great employment, a woman may not even notice him.

      Thyroid disease can also provoke a depressive condition. It is this organ that produces substances that affect the psyche of a person. With their deficiency (hypothyroidism) or excess (hyperthyroidism), psycho-emotional disorders are observed.

      Additional signs that allow to suspect hypothyroidism are:

    • Increased dry skin.
    • Hair bulk.
    • The intolerance to the cold.
    • Overweight.
    • Hyperthyroidism can be recognized by such signs:
    • A noticeable increase in the thyroid gland.
    • Heat intolerance.
    • Muscular weakness and the occurrence of tremor.
    • Insufficient body weight.
    • To associate a depressive condition with hormone disorders, it is necessary to pass the blood test to the following hormones:

    • tireotropic hormone (TG), which is produced by a pituitary.
    • triiodothironine (T3) and thyroxine (T2), which are produced by the thyroid gland.
    • Symptoms of the disease that develops against the background of hormonal failure, allow specialists to allocate the following forms:

    • Monopolar. A person has a strong mental longing and a significant decrease in self-esteem occurs. If pronounced clinical manifestations are held for a long time, then the help of the doctor is required. As a rule, without antidepressants, it is not possible to exit a pathological condition.
    • Psychotic. General depression is accompanied by hallucinations and nonsense. This is a very dangerous form, since there is a high probability of suicide.
    • Bipolar. A feature of the depressive state is the mood swings. Moreover, negative emotions are distinguished by a manic character, that is, during periods of exacerbation, a person may harm or others. To cure the pathology of this type is quite difficult due to emotional bursts.
    • Seasonal. Most often exacerbation against the background of hormonal changes occur in spring and autumn. In most cases, a woman manage to cope with depressive manifestations independently.
    • Postpartum. The depressive state can manifest itself unpredictable disorders. The likelihood of hallucinations and thoughts on suicide is great. Sometimes postpartum psychosis can develop. It is impossible to launch such pathology, if the first disadvantaged signs appear, you should contact the doctor for help.
    • Dystrophic. The disease is manifested by uncontrollable attacks of irritability and malice for any reasons. Moreover, such symptoms are not associated with fatigue and can provoke severe aggression.
    • Ironic. A special type of pathology, when the showing irony is a protective reaction. This state is very dangerous in the fact that against the background of the preservation of social activity, a hidden suicidal thoughts appear in a woman.
    • ADINAMIC. The depressive state is characterized by increased fatigue and constant weakness. A sign of pathology is a sharp desire to retire.
    • Asthenic. Pathology is characterized by the emergence of indifference to the world around the world, against the background of sweeping of feelings and emotions.
    • Somatized. The depressive state is accompanied by migraines, unpleasant feelings in the chest and other pains, which forces man to apply to the doctor. The danger is that if a depressive state is diagnosed, treatment will be prescribed from non-existent diseases, from which the body will suffer in general.
    • All the above, the listed forms of depressive states can develop against the background of the fact that the hormones are produced in insufficient or excessive amounts. But the degree of gravity of the disease may be:

      With a slight form of development of the disease, it is quite possible to do without medication. As a rule, pathology is chronic, and its signs manifest themselves lubricated, so the disease proceeds imperceptibly for others. During exacerbations, specific behavioral features are observed, for example, a woman ceases to monitor or loses interest in sexual life.

      The average severity of the disease is more noticeable to others. A woman overwhelm negative obsessive thoughts that can concern the most different spheres of vital activity. It is not able to distract from them, so labor productivity suffers, and relationships with people from the nearest environment are worse. Against the background of emotional stress develops insomnia.

      A severe degree is characterized by the fact that simultaneously with psychosomatic manifestations there are problems with nutrition and compliance with the basic hygienic rules. Against the background of zero activity, there are thoughts on suicide, hallucinations and nonsense appear. From such a state, it is unlikely to come out, moreover, in most cases, treatment is carried out in the hospital.

      Depression in women is a challenging problem. Treatment of this pathology requires accurate diagnosis and conduct of comprehensive treatment. First of all, events should be held to normalize the hormonal background. How to do this will tell a specialist in each case. To remove unpleasant symptoms, in most cases, light antidepressants are prescribed. But with severe depressive states, psychotherapeutic sessions may additionally need.

      For successful treatment, you need an integrated approach that is:

    • In the revision of the diet. The menu should include useful products and as many vitamins as possible. In the diet must be attended, seafood, dried fruits, nuts and chocolate.
    • In organizing an active lifestyle with moderate physical exertion. In the process of this, serotonin is produced, which is considered a hormone of pleasure and can reduce depressive manifestations.
    • In ensuring a healthy full sleep for at least 7-8 hours. At the same time, the sleeping pills are recommended only in extreme cases, as drugs can cause addictive. Help to sleep relaxing baths with soothing herbs or calm music.
    • In order to minimize unpleasant manifestations of the depressive state, it is necessary to be in society as often as possible. It should be striving to communicate with other people, even if for this you have to overcome the desire for solitude. Soothes the nervous system of the decline change. Therefore, if possible, you need to travel with the goal of a deeper knowledge of the surrounding world.

      Hormonal contraception for women after 40 years

      The most popular contraceptive preparations after 40 years include:

      Contraceptive questions for a 40-year-old woman are no less relevant than for women in 20 or 30 years. Pregnancy at this age can come, but the chances of carrying out and give birth to a healthy child in a woman significantly lower. Already by 37 years, the reproductive function begins to fade.

      Significant changes undergoes a hormonal background, the risk of neoplasms in the genital organs of a woman is increasing, including malignant. therefore hormonal contraceptive pills after 40 perform Not only the role of contraceptive, but also is an excellent preventive tool for women's health.

      About half a century, pharmacologists, gynecologists, endocrinologists develop efficient and safe hormonal oral contraceptives. Practice proved their reliability. Selection of contraceptive preparations after 40 years Must be carried out very carefully. It is necessary to take into account not only the state of health, but also the way of life of a woman.

      Consultation of the gynecologist-endocrinologist when choosing hormonal contraceptives is required.

      Features of hormonal contraception for women after 40

      In 40 years, the woman is still in full bloom, but irreversible hormonal changes in its body are already launched by biological clock. Major hormones associated with a childbody function, estrogen and progesterone continue to be produced by ovariesbut in a much smaller quantity.

      In the period of hormonal restructuring in the female body, immune defense is reduced, therefore the risk of developing diseases of the genital organs increases. To support the body during this period, for women after 40 years of gynecologists-endocrinologists, special hormonal contraceptive pills have been developed.

      Against the background of changes in the hormonal background, women at this age are often developing diseases associated with the growth of the uterine mucosa (endometriosis), a benign tumor (mioma) is formed in the muscular layer of the uterus.

      It is better to give preference to monophase oral contraceptives, in them the daily dose of estrogen and progesterone is the same. They have an additional healing and prophylactic effect. The choice between low-contained and microdosted hormone drugs should make a doctor.

      To maintain the sexual system, the most promising is the hormonal agents in which the microdoses include the synthetic analogues of the progesterone (Linestrenol and Desogestrel), they are called "minimum pills" or mini-dies. They practically do not affect metabolic processes in the female organism.

      It is better to take them after 4th years, they are an effective alternative to combined oral contraceptives (COC) and salvation for women. This is a levonorestrel, charozette, extuton, ormetril, silent-hole and others.

      High from unwanted pregnancy.

      No side effects.

      Mitigate the manifestations of Klimaks, make hormonal deficit during this period.

      Normalize intimate relationships, raise libido.

      Are effective prevention of cyst, endometriosis, uterine misa, ectopic pregnancy.

      Pregnancy risks after 40

      The reproductive system of women works properly up to 37 years, but after 40 years the chances of having a healthy child are reduced. Despite the fact that by 40 years the probability of conception is reduced, pregnancy at this age is not uncommon. The decision to give birth to a child after 40 should be taken weighted.

      Unfortunately, the eggs are also "aging." They accumulate genetic anomalies, therefore the risk of the birth of a kid with serious pathologies. The most common among them is Down Syndrome. Most often, embryos with chromosomal mutations cannot be implanted in the uterus, and the pregnancy ends with miscarriage.

      It is worth noting that at this age pregnancy proceeds difficult. A woman may have serious complications (hypertension, diabetes and others). During childbirth, the cesarean section is used. The femalenitsy after 40 develop serious postpartum depressed.

      Appointment of contraceptive pills after 40

      For giving birth and unborn women, the choice of contraceptive tablets is determined by the following factors:

      State of the immune system;

      The presence of cardiovascular diseases;

      Contraindications for the use of estrogen-containing drugs;

      Frequent use of alcoholic beverages;

      Received contraceptive pills after 40 years for smoking women are a serious danger. It is not about reducing the contraceptive effect. Estrogen hormone and a cigarette smoke while simultaneously finding the body significantly increase the risk of thrombus.

      After 40 years, the received oral contraceptives (OK) can cause infarction, strokes and other diseases of the circulatory system. Contraceptives after 40 for smokers are condoms, intrauterine spiral, other types of non-coronal protection.

      If the patient refuses to use non-corrugal contraception, the doctor may recommend hormonal pills for women based on Gestagennes. Estrogen in their composition is not included.

      The minuses of such protection are:

      Magoving allocations at any time cycle;

      Constant thorough medical control;

      Mandatory blood test once every six months;

      Independent control of blood pressure indicators.

      Drinking alcoholic beverages on the background of reception of contraceptive pills is unsafe. If the alcohol provoked diarrhea, vomiting 2-4 hours after taking the drug, the efficiency of the contraceptive decreases. In such cases, it is necessary to take another tablet.

      The best thing take contraceptive contraceptives in the morningso that they manage to be learned. If the evening entertainment event with alcohol use caused digestion disorders, it will not affect the contraceptive effect.

      Instructions for the use of hormonal contraceptives necessarily contain a warning to reduce protective effect When combining them with certain drugs. This applies primarily to antibiotics. When appointing antibacterial therapy, it should not stop the reception of contraceptives, but to take additional barrier protection methods is necessary.

      Age after 40 is often associated with the Mioma of the uterus, or rather with the active development of this disease against the background of the hormonal restructuring of the body. The appointment of hormonal contraceptive pills in the Moma is not only ensuring reliable contraception, but also effective therapy.

      In the presence of the disease, combined single-phase drugs or mini-saws are used. Synthetic hormones in the composition of tablets have the same effect as the natural female hormones.Plus exhibit additional healing properties. This allows you to normalize the hormonal background and significantly reduce the mioma nodes in size.

      In case of endometriosis, gynecologists prescribe contraceptive pills to stabilize and facilitate the state of the woman. These drugs detain the processes of the growth of the uterus mucosa, normalize the menstrual cycle. Fully cured the disease with oral contraceptives is impossible.

      It is believed that due to the admission of oral contraceptives, women will be fully. Modern contraceptives that are prescribed after 40, contain minimal doses of hormonesTherefore, a set of excess weight is not connected with this. Only in the first months there may be a slight increase, but this is a temporary phenomenon. It is associated with a fluid delay in the tissues and adaptation of the body to the drug.

      There is an opinion that ok cause cellulite. Microdosted hormonal drugs do not have actions for metabolic processesTherefore, the appearance of "orange peel" on the body of a woman is caused by other reasons.

      Contraceptive and depression

      Hormonal preparations are considered to be the most reliable method for pregnancy protection. A huge number of women trusts precisely this type of contraception. But at the same time there are constant disputes about whether they are harmful or useful, what are their pros and cons. Many women note that they have depressed from contraceptive pills. Let's try to figure it out in more detail.

      Depression is a pathological condition in which not only a decrease in mood is noted, but also the ability to rejoice. It is characterized by Jedonia, apathy and motor inhibition. This is a very formidable pathology that needs compulsory treatment.

      Why does depression arise when receiving contraceptives?

      The composition of contraceptive drugs includes or one, or two hormones. As a rule, this is a combination of estrogen and progesterone. However, there are medicines, where only one progesterone is contained - mini-drank. It is the last substance that the emergence of a depressive state in a woman can provoke the emergence of a depressive state.

      This natural agent is 100% will get rid of pain during menstruation! Will you guess what it is - get rid of forever!

      Usually the state of depression from combined contraceptive drugs does not occur. However, if a woman has already before the use of the drug, the manifestation of a depressive state was noted, then in the future it may be aggravated. However, such a side effect is extremely rare.

      Depression from contraceptive tablets - the main symptoms

      If you have a mood drops, it is impossible to control yourself, you do not want to work and constantly feel fatigue - these are all signs of depressive syndrome. Often it is not associated with the reception of the contraceptive. But nevertheless the possibility that the disorder is caused by progesterone, should not be excluded. Hormonal drugs may cause a lack of vitamin B6, which also negatively affects the psycho-emotional state of the woman.

      What to do if against the background of the counterchairs developed a depressive syndrome?

      If the symptoms are pronounced, then the help of a psychotherapist is required to correct the status of a woman. If depressed from contraceptives arose, then the reception should be discontinued. The gynecologist can offer a different way to protect against unwanted pregnancy - the introduction of the Navy or the barrier method (condoms, spermicides). If the symptoms are not pronounced pronounced and do not cause a special inconvenience to a woman, then a combination type contraceptives, in which the progesterone content is much smaller.

      To prevent the emergence of depressive syndrome, it is recommended to take a daily complex of Vitamins B.

      Hormone-based contraceptives affect the female organism completely differently. In order to detect all unwanted phenomena of such drugs, a mandatory consultation is needed twice a year at their attending physician.

  5. Advantages of hormonal contraceptives after 40 years

    Many women relate to hormonal preparations with caution and contempt, first of all it is related to the fear to type extra weight. They believe that it is impossible to take hormones without increasing body weight. Of course, the weight gain when admitting approx is just a myth.

    In the event that the means with the content of hormones are selected individually by a gynecologist, taking into account the individual characteristics of the body, the weight will not change in any case. Consider what advantages have contraceptive pills after 40 years:

  6. protection against the occurrence of pregnancy.

    There is another effective type of funds that slows down ovulation and reliably protects against unwanted pregnancy - combined oral contraceptives. Compared to mini-drank, these contraceptive pills after 40 years have a wider range of side effects, but in the absence of contraindications, doctors recommend women to take some of the drugs of this group:

    Emergency contraception

    In addition to tablets that need to be taken daily there are so-called "SOS contraceptives". In this case, there is only one tablet in the package, which must be taken after the proximity.

    Doctors believe that at this age it is better to give preference to hormonal pills. As a rule, in women after forty there is a lack of hormones, which is necessary to maintain the youth and preservation of active sexual life.

    Also the advantage of hormonal tablets compared to the spiral is the minimum number of side effects that arise very rarely.

    As you know, any medication can apply the body not only the benefit, but also harm. Possible harm to the body is manifested if a woman has contraindications to the reception of hormonal drugs.

    List of basic contraindications:

  13. Frequent pain in the head.
  14. Excess weight.
  15. Frequent inflammatory diseases, especially larynx disease.
  16. Chronic depression or constant stress.
  17. Vascular diseases.

Also, when receiving hormonal means, it is necessary to refrain from the reception of alcoholic beverages, since alcohol reduces the effectiveness of drugs.

Contraceptive means for various diseases

As a rule, after 40 years, many women have some diseases and health problems. In the presence of one or another pathology, the doctor recommends to give preference to a certain type of contraceptive.

When choosing a contraceptive, the doctor prefers preparations that have therapeutic properties. Hormonal contraceptives are the main treatment of ovarian cysts.

For treatment and protection against unwanted pregnancy, it is recommended to use single-phase or monophazic drugs that choose a gynecologist depending on the size and features of cysts. In addition to the tablets, you can use the contraceptive plaster of the Jew.

Hormonal oral pills are not prohibited in the presence of such a disease as varicose veins. However, the active ingredient of hormonal drugs may worsen the blood flowability, as a result of which the state of vessels and vessels worsen.

To prevent this disease, when applying is approaching ok, it is necessary to visit the phlebologist and watch out for well-being.

  • In this case, the reception of single-phase tablets is recommended.
  • In addition to OK, with varicose veins, you can install an intrauterine spiral.
  • You can also use contraceptive candles - Pharmatex.

    Contraceptives for smoking

    Based on women's reviews, we can conclude that they are mainly used by contraceptive pills. Their choice is due to high efficiency, as well as normalization of the menstrual cycle.

    However, folk opinions were separated. Some ladies believe that the spiral is much better. They determine their opinion to convenience, since the intrauterine spiral is set once, the replacement is required only in 2-5 years.

    Overweight, health problems and even loss of interest in sex - all this may be a consequence of the wrong selection or reception of hormonal contraceptives. With all the advantages of hormonal contraception, you should not forget about the minuses of such pills. Of course, modern oral contraceptives cause much fewer problems than the preparations of past generations, but, like all kinds of medicines, they have side effects. Problem: You are gaining weight.

    Estrogens included in OK can cause a fluid delay (fortunately, a 1-2 kilogram dialed out due to this, after the body is adapted). Other components, gestagens (progestogens, progestins), have a certain anabolic activity and can change the carbohydrate exchange, especially if his violations were used before the start of receiving OK.

    Is there a solution? According to numerous studies, modern drugs with 3rd generation transgestaine ("Jess", "Jarina", "Clayra", "Midiana", etc.) influence the metabolism much less than the first generations. "In most cases, the weight gain is caused by the fact that the woman began to move less or eat more calories. OK indirectly can influence appetite, both increasing and lowering it, "explains to. M. N, Gynecologist TsKB No. 13 Larisa Ivanova (Moscow). So in the first months of reception, it is worth watching what you eat!

    Problem: You do not want sex

    Against the background of taking OK, the development of female sex hormones and the main hormone of sexuality - testosterone is reduced, and sexual attraction can decrease. For example, the study of scientists from Heidelberg University (Germany) has shown that women using hormonal contraception are more often complaining about sexual disorders associated with the ability to initiate and receive orgasm.

    Is there a solution? In some cases, it is possible to solve the problem by going to the tablets with a lower content of progesterone, in others you have to change the method of contraception.

    Problem: Rides the mood and want to sleep

    The mood and well-being of women largely depends on the hormonal background, especially from fluctuations in the level of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone during the menstrual cycle. Accordingly, the intervention in this process sometimes does not pass without a trace. Also, gestagenic components ok may worsen tryptophan metabolism - amino acids needed to generate hormones of good mood.

    Is there a solution? Change approx. The reverse side: if the admission is influenced by negatively, the other, on the contrary, the correction of hormonal status helps to get rid of the depressive state, irritability and mood jumps caused by sharp fluctuations in hormones or their excess.

    Problem: risk of thrombosis

    In the 60s of the twentieth century, the frequency of thrombosis and thrombophlebitis in women rose sharply - the culprits were approx.

    Is there a solution? In modern contraceptives, the number of hormones is several times lower, and they do not provide such a strong influence on the chopping system ("critical" digit, the excess of which significantly increases the risk of such complications, 50 μg of ethinyl estradiol is considered). But only if we are talking about healthy women. If, prior to the start of admission, there was hemostasis disorders, the probability of complications increases, especially against the background of concomitant risk factors: age over 35 years, smoking, hypertension, etc.

    Problem: Wakes up varicose veins

    According to the Association of Flaboball Communities of Russia, in 30% of cases, long-term reception of hormonal contraceptives cause varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency.

    Is there a solution? This is another reason why it is worth making breaks in the reception OK (Russian gynecologists often appoint them for 1.5-2 years, then a break in 2-3 months). And before starting to drink them, it is worth visiting the phlebologist (especially if there is a "bad heredity").

    Do not forget: Oral contraceptives are medicines, and the doctor must be selected after the history of the history and the necessary examination, including the examination of the gynecologist, ultrasound of the small pelvis organs and the mammary glands, measuring blood pressure, biochemical analysis of blood, blood test for hormones, on sugar and on ProtromBin (ideally for hemostasis). Good add to this consultation of the phlebologist and endocrinologist.

    Hormonal preparations are considered to be the most reliable method for pregnancy protection. A huge number of women trusts precisely this type of contraception. But at the same time there are constant disputes about whether they are harmful or useful, what are their pros and cons. Many women note that they have depressed from contraceptive pills. Let's try to figure it out in more detail.

    Depression is a pathological condition in which not only a decrease in mood is noted, but also the ability to rejoice. It is characterized by Jedonia, apathy and motor inhibition. This is a very formidable pathology that needs compulsory treatment.

    Why does depression arise when receiving contraceptives?

    The composition of contraceptive drugs includes or one, or two hormones. As a rule, this is a combination of estrogen and progesterone. However, there are medicines, where only one progesterone is contained - mini-drank. It is the last substance that the emergence of a depressive state in a woman can provoke the emergence of a depressive state.

    Usually the state of depression from combined contraceptive drugs does not occur. However, if a woman has already before the use of the drug, the manifestation of a depressive state was noted, then in the future it may be aggravated. However, such a side effect is extremely rare.

    Depression from contraceptive tablets - the main symptoms

    If you have a mood drops, it is impossible to control yourself, you do not want to work and constantly feel fatigue - these are all signs of depressive syndrome. Often it is not associated with the reception of the contraceptive. But nevertheless the possibility that the disorder is caused by progesterone, should not be excluded. Hormonal drugs may cause a lack of vitamin B6, which also negatively affects the psycho-emotional state of the woman.

    What to do if against the background of the counterchairs developed a depressive syndrome?

    If the symptoms are pronounced, then the help of a psychotherapist is required to correct the status of a woman. If depressed from contraceptives arose, then the reception should be discontinued. The gynecologist can offer a different way to protect against unwanted pregnancy - the introduction of the Navy or the barrier method (condoms, spermicides). If the symptoms are not pronounced pronounced and do not cause a special inconvenience to a woman, then a combination type contraceptives, in which the progesterone content is much smaller.

    To prevent the emergence of depressive syndrome, it is recommended to take a daily complex of Vitamins B.

    Hormone-based contraceptives affect the female organism completely differently. In order to detect all unwanted phenomena of such drugs, a mandatory consultation is needed twice a year at their attending physician.

As the course of therapy passes with tableted means of contraception, the woman's body gets used to new conditions and ceases to react to this circumstance.

    Blood selection of sex tract

    Against the background of the reception of this group of medicines, it is often emerging intermented bleeding from sex tract. The reason for this is the adaptation of the body to the receipt of hormonal connections from the outside. Not less than 40% of women who began to take tableted oral contraceptives, the duration of adaptation is from 1.5 to 3 months. In some situations, the adaptation period can stretch to six months.

    Epigastria pain, vomiting and nausea

    This symptom complex refers to the side effects of estrogen hormones on the woman's body. For most women, dyspeptic disorders are spontaneously disappearing after the end of the first packing of the tablet contraceptive. If a woman has a stomach every day when taking hormonal contraceptive pills, then it can be prescribed a drug with a smaller content of estrogen.

    Sealing and disease soreness

    This symptom is manifested within 4-6 months from the beginning of the reception of hormonal contraceptives. Usually, this side phenomenon disappears independently without interference from the outside. If such complications after the reception of tableted hormonal drugs do not disappear on their own, then women are prescribed to the use of the gel of the progress, which should be applied to the surface of the breast in accordance with the instructions.

    Psycho-emotional lability

    The gestagne component included in the combined oral contraceptives, influences the metabolism of tryptophan amino acid metabolism, as a result of which the woman faces such symptoms as irritability, depression, plasticity, apathy. Especially brightly, these symptoms appear in a woman with a thin nervous constitution.

    In 70% of cases, signs of psycho-emotional instability disappear independently for 3 months. In rare cases, to maintain an emotional state, a course of treatment with vitamins of group V. is appointed

    Skeletal muscle pain

    The consequences of the reception of hormonal contraceptive pills for women can be quite unpredictable. The estrogens contraception contained in the combined means increases the calcium content in the blood plasma, which leads to muscle pain, as well as pain in the joints of the joints.

    Hair loss


    Another, no less common side effect of oral contraceptives is a slight hair loss due to hormonal perestroika. If a woman has in a small amount of hormone therapy during the first 3 months from the beginning of the course of hormone therapy, then the situation does not require any intervention, and this process is restored independently after the completion of adaptation. With a significant loss of hair in the entire zone of their growth, the woman is recommended to apply to the doctor with the purpose of replacing the drug.

    Increase body weight

    Such a side effect after receiving contraceptives in a tablet form may occur due to hormonal restructuring, accompanied by endocrine disorders, reinforcement of appetite, as well as delays in an extra interstitial fluid in the body.

With diagnosed serious disorders of the functional state of the liver, the reception of hormonal means can be postponed indefinitely.

    Absolute contraindications to oral contraceptives

    Not always the flow of hormones from outside can be appropriate for the body. There are contraindications for the reception of contraceptive hormonal tablets that are not recommended to ignore for personal security purposes:

    OK selection rules and precautions

    From how much a tableted tool of contraception was directly dependent on the degree of efficiency, as well as the level of risk of the appearance of any complications. When choosing this group of medicines, it is recommended to pay attention to such criteria:

    1. The degree of severity of premenstrual syndrome.

    In addition, in order to minimize the risk of adverse reactions, during the selection of the medication, the patient needs to pass a laboratory analysis on oncocytology, perform an ultrasound study of the mammary glands and organs of the pelvic region, as well as perform a common clinical and biochemical blood test.

    In the absence of complaints and any major changes in the results of the study, prescribe patients. In all other cases, drugs are selected individually attending a gynecologist. In order to avoid overdose by oral contraceptives, it is strictly forbidden to independently select dosages and multiplicity of medication reception.

    Alternative contraception methods

    For each of the listed methods, there are separate contraindications with which it is necessary to familiarize themselves before the use of one of the contraceptives.

    Opinion of doctors and reviews

    Before starting the use of tableted protection methods from the onset of unplanned pregnancy, it is recommended to estimate the benefit and potential harm ratio, which can be applied to the regular flow of hormones into the body of a woman from the outside. Modern names of contraceptive pills are distinguished by an increased level of safety, therefore in 70% of cases, side effects against the background of their reception are related to the violation of the dosing circuit and the multiplicity of medication reception. In order to avoid negative impact on the body, it is recommended to apply to the attending physician of the gynecologist in order to select the necessary contraceptive.

    Already 3 weeks after the start of taking COC, I encountered a daily headache and periodic eductions in the field of legs. These symptoms did not leave me 3 months after the beginning of the course of treatment, so together with the attending physician it was decided to abandon the use of tableted contraceptives.

    Very often heard negative feedback from familiar women about contraceptive pills, but experienced on themselves, I did not feel any changes in general condition. In this life stage, this method of contraception suits me the most.

    Natalia, 27 years old.

    In families, where regular sexual life is a norm, partners are often choosing a reliable and convenient option as a means of contraceptive - receiving hormonal oral contraceptives. But contraceptive pills have not only advantages. Side effects of oral contraceptives can significantly worsen health.

    Do you take Kok? OK or not ok?

    One of the forms of hormonal contraception - combinedoral contraceptives. These drugs are based on the action of two sex hormones at once - estrogen and progestin (gestagena) controlling the most important periods in the life of a woman. In their particular concentration, sexual ripening of girls occurs, ovulation is undergoing - the preparation of the body to pregnancy and, finally, the pregnancy itself itself. These same hormones can be forced to work in the reverse order, preventing unwanted pregnancy.

    The principle of operation of hormonal contraceptives KOK includes a number of effects. Tablets containing estrogen and gestagen, with proper reception and dosage guarantee:

    • . The egg cell does not ripen or fall into the uterine tube of a defective, not capable of conception.
    • Condence of mucus in the cervical canal of the uterus. This makes it difficult to hit the spermatozoa to the egg.
    • Reducing the activity of spermatozoaFor which the excess of these hormones are destroyed.
    • Thinning mucosa In which the egg cell is implanted with normal pregnancy. Insufficiently thick layer of endometrial in any case, will lead to the fading of the egg, even if it miraculously fertilized.

    If there are no contraindications and the rules described in the instructions from the manufacturer, the reception of contraceptive pills protects almost 100% from unwanted pregnancy. With the manifestation of side effects, disaster disorders, neglect contraindications, the result may decrease by 50%.

    Why oral contraceptives are not suitable for everyone

    First you need to figure out what is happening in the female body, namely the hormonal background. Each woman has its own and depends on many factors. The concentration of hormones influence: age, weight, number of pregnancies, abortion and childbirth, the presence of chronic diseases associated with the thyroid and pancreas, pituitary gland and adrenal glands, the regularity of intimate relations, etc. Factors.

    Consequently, each patient needs its own composition. What is almost impossible to implement in practice. Of course, there are averaged norms - they are laid for various drugs. Combined contraceptives can contain different components of hormones, varies their weight and concentration.

    For example, the mini-saw contains only progestin. In the combo tablets of the first generations, there are large dosages of both types of hormones. If you appoint such a "bouquet" of a young, broken, fragile girl, thenthe side effect of oral contraceptives is guaranteed. And for the lady of 30 years, this composition can bring a huge benefit by defending it from pregnancy and disorders and tumors caused by hormonal disorders.

    To correctly pick up hormonal contraceptives, little to know the composition of contraceptive. The instruction will only tellabout contraindications and warn about side effects, without giving recommendations for receiving. Correctly choose a contraceptive drug can Yes, and that having received results .

    Side Effects when taking a hormonal agent: Dangerous and safe contraception

    Many women are afraid to take such medicines, reading horrors about side effects. But before drawing conclusions, it is necessary to figure out what the concept of "side effect" means and what can be expected if those are described in the instructions for the drug.

    The first thing you need to know is described by any medicine, but their mention does not mean that such effects are manifested absolutely to everyone who began to take pills. And even if they are, it is not in full spectrum. Statistics show that side effects are really bothering no more than 10% of patients. And each again, no more than 1-2 types of disorders are observed.

    The side effects of oral contraceptives again can be absolutely safe or, on the contrary, lead to serious changes in the body. All sides are divided into:

    • Short-term- Such problems are inevitable, they are associated with addiction to the hormonal drug. This can be attributed: swelling of the chest, felling, etc. Literally a couple of weeks, there is no trace from them.
    • Warning - They need to pay attention to them. These are any, even the lightest skills that are not passing for 2 months, bleeding between critical days, abdominal pain, change in shape and volume of abdomen, significant changes in weight and sexual behavior. With such symptoms you need to go to the gynecologist.
    • Dangerous - require refusal of this method of contraception. This includes all kinds of severe complications associated with the change in the composition and properties of blood, for example, an increase in sugar, a sharp change in pressure, impairment of vision, poor well-being, etc., affecting the life of a woman.

    Usually, if the doctor prescribed the doctor, only short-term side effects arise, because the gynecologist takes into account in advance and clarifies all possible contraindications. With independent reception of hormonal drugs, you can expect anything, so you need to follow health especially carefully.

    Light Side effects of contraceptive tablets associated with addiction

    Oral contraceptives can cause light discomfort:

    • Nausea, squeezing at the bottom of the abdomen, diarrhea- These symptoms disappear in about a month, with the beginning of the second cycle of contraceptive reception. If the symptoms remain, this suggests that the hormone level is high and other drugs are needed. To easily survive the adaptation period, take a blister tablet for the night - by the morning in the body everything falls.
    • Burning of the mammary glands - Light may appear and increased sensitivity. It will reduce the unpleasant sensation of a cotton support brass. If the burning is unevenly manifested, the increase in individual shares, coils, are observed from the nipples or the enemy of Rudi holds the whole cycle, you need to urgently turn to the gynecologist and make the ultrasound of the mammary glands.
    • . Associated with a change in the cycle and bringing it to normal. After a couple of months, menstruation should begin the day a day.
    • Between monthly - The norm is considered light weaving allocations that quickly disappear. Unusual color allocations, foam or for more than 3 days - a signal at which you need to immediately consult a doctor.
    • Drops in the mood - Oral contraceptives can enhance an existing depressive state. Normally, this process should not exceed the normal term of PMS. If the capriciousness, the depressed mood, etc. It holds longer than a week, most likely these hormonal drugs will have to be replaced.
    • Discomfort from lenses - Some women need to pay special attention to this symptom. It is not the reason for replacing the tablets, as this will not give the result. We will have to either get used to, or replace lenses on glasses, or abandon oral hormones in favor of installing intrauterine spirals.
    • Increase skin fat, acne. These are temporary troubles, they pass on their own after a couple of months.
    • Changes in libido. The effect is also temporary.
    • Dry vagina. This violation may be not only a side effect, but a symptom of thrush, etc. , Therefore, it is better to visit the gynecologist and pass the smear to the purity of the vagina.

    If the sides deliver tangible discomfort, it is worth thinking about on another contraception.

    Side effects that should alert

    The following side effects can not be ignored anyway:

    • , bleeding, bleeding, repeated after 2 cycles of reception tablets.
    • Headache, not passing independently without analgesic.
    • Primary or.
    • Edems of legs, persons who spell on the metabolic disorders and the work of the kidneys.
    • Permanent reduction in sexual entry.
    • Hair loss.

    These symptoms indicate the exceeding the norms of the genital hormones, so such tablets need to be replaced.

    When contraceptive pills are contraindicated

    When appointing , Gynecologist necessarily takes into account contraindications. Since the hormones regulate the activities of many processes in the body, the reception of oral contraceptives can strengthen or weaken some of them.

    In this case, may occur:

    • Acute chest pain.
    • Dyspnea.
    • Increased pressure (AD).
    • Thrombus.
    • Depression.
    • Headache - Migraine.
    • Itching skin, genital organs.
    • Hearing violations.

    In the risk group there are women approaching a forty-year-old frontier, smoking, suffering from chronic kidney diseases, liver, thyroid. Health problems can cause a long-lasting intake of COC without replacement.

    What can replace oral contraceptives

    If necessary, regular contraception, the gynecologist will offer to put the intrauterine spiral. Before it is installed, you will also have to pass the survey - it will be necessary with And pass the ultrasound of a small pelvis. It is also produced by a gynecologist based on analyzes. This The most modern radiometer without pain and complications or pass other procedures.

    The cost of receiving a gynecologist is 1000 rubles. Complex ultrasound of a small pelvis - 1000 rubles. Reception based on the results of analyzes rented in the clinic - 500 rubles.
