Dangers Of Emergency Conception

 Emergency Contraception:  ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

The Dangers Of Prolonged ussage

🙏🏽What is emergency pill 💊🙏🏽

Emergency contraceptive pill

ECPs, which are also called “morning-after pills,” are hormone pills. They use high levels of the hormones found in birth control pills to prevent pregnancy by prevention ovulation. They must be taken within three or five days of unprotected sex, depending on the product.

Emergency contraception (EC) helps prevent pregnancy. 

It doesn’t end a pregnancy if you’re already pregnant, and it isn’t 100% effective, either. However, the sooner after sexual intercourse you use it, the more effective it will be.

Emergency contraception can include use of the copper intrauterine device (IUD) and combinations of prescription oral contraceptives used under the direction of your doctor.  It’s typically safe to use, but it can come with a few side effects.

🙏🏽Possible side effects🙏🏽

The EC pill, sometimes called the morning-after pill, has not been found to have any long-term or serious side effects. In most cases, women who take EC will experience no complications. However, some forms of the EC pill will cause minor side effects which could turn major if EC is prolonged.

  A). The most common minor side effects include:

👉🏼nausea

👉🏼vomiting

👉🏼headache

👉🏼tiredness

👉🏼fatigue

👉🏼dizziness

B).  Some serious or major side effects of EC.

🙏🏽👉🏼Some women who take emergency contraception may have light vaginal bleeding. This usually ends within three days. 

However, bleeding that lasts longer than three days or that becomes heavier may be a sign of a problem. 

Contact your health care provider right away if your bleeding is heavy or lasts longer than three days.

🙏🏽👉🏼 EC can also affect your menstrual cycle. Your period may be as much as one week early or one week late because ECs are homonal aim at slowing other hormones. This becomes a more serious issue if you're fun of taking ECs because your period may become irregular for a very long time making it harder for you to conceive in future. If your period is more than one week late, you may want to take a pregnancy test to confirm it's not pregnancy.

🙏🏽👉🏼 Heavy Bleeding

Light, unexpected vaginal bleeding is possible with EC use. However, some cases of unusual bleeding can be serious. If you experience unexpected vaginal bleeding with abdominal pain and dizziness, call your health care provider. Also call your healthcare provider if your bleeding does not end within three days or if it becomes heavier. Your symptoms may be a sign of a more serious condition that requires medical treatment. This can lead to more serious situation like you becoming anaemic especially if you prolonged the usage of this EC.

🙏🏽👉🏼 The copper IUD is thought to be very safe. But in rare cases, it can cause serious problems. For example, an IUD could pierce the wall of the uterus while it’s being inserted. Also, the copper IUD slightly raises your risk of pelvic inflammatory disease in the first three weeks of use. The piercing can cause further damage to a woman who will try to conceive in future while PiD can cause damage to your tubes and increases your chances of having ectopic pregnancy as well as infertility in general.

Now  these risks are rare. Your doctor can help you decide if the benefit of placing a copper IUD outweighs the potential risks.

Safety issues of both methods

Women who should avoid these options

Some women should avoid using the copper IUD. For example, 

👉🏼women who are pregnant shouldn’t use it because it raises the risk of infection.

 The copper IUD should also be avoided by women who have:

👉🏼distortion of the uterus

👉🏼pelvic inflammatory disease

👉🏼endometritis after pregnancy or miscarriage

👉🏼cancer of the uterus

👉🏼cervical cancer

👉🏼genital bleeding for unknown reasons

👉🏼infection of the cervix

👉🏼an older IUD that has not been removed.

🙏🏽👉🏼Risk with cardiovascular problems🙏🏽

Some women’s doctors may have told them not to use birth control pills because they are at risk of stroke, heart disease, blood clots, or other cardiovascular problems. However, using an ECP is different from using birth control pills. One-time use of emergency contraceptive pills does not carry the same risks as taking oral contraceptives every day. Non the less it will be more dangerous if you're fun of  continuously taking EC as it may wasn't your cardiovascular risks. 

If you still have questions about emergency contraception, talk to your doctor.
