Without adequate preparation for pregnancy, couples are more likely to use contraceptive pills beforehand. Contraceptive pills can be classified into short acting, emergency, and long-acting based on their efficacy and duration. To ensure effectiveness, long-acting contraceptives with stronger efficacy may be chosen. So how long is the long-acting contraceptive pill effective?
Long acting contraceptive pills are usually taken periodically, with a duration of about seven days after the initial use. After that, sexual activity can be carried out without any other measures during the period. However, if you want to use contraception for a long time, remember not to miss the dose and strictly follow the prescribed period.
Contraceptive pills achieve their contraceptive effect through the regulation of hormone levels. However, due to the high hormone content and strong efficacy of long-acting contraceptives, women may experience menstrual disorders and menstrual irregularities during use. In severe cases, it may also cause endocrine disorders. After a period of use, due to the ineffective treatment of hormones in the short term, the above physical conditions may last for a long time.
Due to its strong side effects, it is recommended to avoid using it as much as possible if possible. Long acting contraceptives are generally not recommended for women who have not given birth, as their side effects may affect future pregnancy preparation. If you want to prepare for pregnancy after use, you need to stop taking the medication for several months to more than six months, and pay attention to the regulation of qi and blood during this period to ensure a good and stable physical condition for pregnancy preparation.
