Over a person’s lifetime they are likely to be prescribed more than 14,000 pills. Antibiotics, cholesterol lowering tablets, anti-depressants, painkillers, even tablets to extend youth and improve performance in bed. These drugs perform minor miracles day after day, but how much is really known about them?

A contraceptive pill is 99% effective if taken according to the instructions given by a gynecologist. However, most people can sometimes forget or skip a pill or two. This means that about 9 out of 100 pill users can risk getting pregnant each year.
The efficacy of the pill largely relies on your efficiency in being able to follow the routine perfectly. Do not forget to take your pills daily, and start your pill packs on time.
Other conditions that may affect the efficacy of the pills:
Diarrhea for more than 48 hours (2 days) may affect pill efficacy
Pills have been known to lose efficacy in people who are overweight
Most people ask gynecologists, how long do birth control pills take to work?
The duration depends mainly on when you start taking them and what type of pills you’re using. You can start taking birth control pills any day of the month. However, it’s advisable to use condoms for at least a week as a backup.
This duration needed for the pills to start working also depends on the type of pills.
Combination contraceptive pills if taken within 5 days after the commencement of your period, will protect you from pregnancy right away. For example, if you get your period on a Sunday morning, then you can start the pill anytime till Friday morning.
If you start combination pills after the first 5 days, then you need to keep taking the pills for 7 days, before they will protect you from pregnancy.
Talk to a gynecologist online for more info about the different contraceptive pills and tips on using them.
If one is taking the birth control pills, regularly, in need no worry about pregnancy. It is a very good contraceptive. The problem with unprotected sexual intercourse in this scenario is the chance of sexually transmitted infection. If you have any such worries especially if you are not in a monogamous relationship, then you have to get tested and have to be treated appropriately especially HIV, Hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, herpes simplex, syphilis and chlamydia infection because these sexually transmitted infection do not produce visible symptoms. Also when they are left untreated, they can have serious health implications. So that is the treason when you are worried about sexually transmitted infection in unprotected sexual intercourse please get it tested. Video Rating: / 5

महिलाएं जो गर्भनिरोधक गोलियां लेती हैं, उनमें हॉर्मोन होते हैं. जब आप हॉर्मोनल पिल्स लेते हैं, तो वो आपके शरीर के साथ कई तरह से छेड़छाड़ करते हैं. हम बड़ी आसानी से कहते हैं कि शादी के बाद लड़कियां मोटी हो जाती हैं. शादी के बाद अधिकतर लड़कियां ये गोलियां लेने लगती हैं. और इनका सबसे जानामाना साइड इफेक्ट है वजन का बढ़ना. इसके अलावा इनसे मूड स्विंग्स भी होते हैं, महिलाओं की सेक्स ड्राइव कम हो जाती है, सिर में दर्द रहता है. और फिर ये मजाक बन जाता है कि जब मूड नहीं होता, तो बीवियां सिरदर्द का बहाना बना देती हैं. लेकिन ये सब सच में होता है. रिसर्च तो ये भी दिखाती है कि गर्भनिरोधक गोलियां लेने से महिलाओं में डिप्रेशन का खतरा बढ़ जाता है. बाजार में महिलाओं के लिए ये गोलियां पिछले पचास साल से उपलब्ध हैं. आपको क्या लगता है, क्या परिवार नियोजन के लिए गोलियां लेना सही है – फिर चाहे महिलाएं वो लें या पुरुष. #dwhindi #dwhealth Video Rating: / 5

After 3 months of missed periods it is always advised to first take pregnancy test then if its negative and penorit is taken, penorit is usually the combination of estrogen and progesterone pills which are taken to withdraw the bleed.Usually penorit is given for 10 days, morning and evening twice daily and its observed that menses resume after 10 days of taking the last pill.
Emergency contraception is a progestrone called Levonorgestrel. This has to be taken within 72 hrs of unprotected sex.Basic side effect is irregular bleeding, therefore possibilities of delay by 6 days or it has come early. If patient takes emergency contraceptive in 4th or 5 th day of period then cycle will come within a week.Bleeding can happen in 1 week and repeat bleeding after 1 more week.Patient may have no bleeding as this was not required hence cycle can be delayed by 3 or 4 weeks. there is no relation to menses which was delayed 6 days now as compared o last time.Emergency contraception should not be taken for regular contraception , if taken regularly this will cause irregular bleeding.
I had this question the other day after reading or hearing something. I dug into what information I could find online, and figured there were other ladies out there with the same curiosity. While there was less out there on this topic than I was expecting I got my question answered.
I got a bit of flack in my last video about chemicals. Apparently I shouldn’t just say “chemicals” because some may be confused due to the fact everything is made from chemicals. So, I just want to start by saying that the chemicals I’m talking about are those that are being put into things that are causing harm, such as those that are endocrine disruptors, messing with not only the female reproductive system, but the male reproductive system as well. We wonder why so many girls and women have messed up menstrual cycles, and I think what’s in our environment has a lot to do with it.
I’m sure almost everyone has heard the term “endocrine disruptor”, but who’s taken the time to look into it? I’m just now taking the time. Let’s learn together!
