Aunt Li's daughter is 16 years old this year, just went to high school, because high school needs to live in school, Aunt Li's daughter's life rules have changed a lot, but the body has not kept up, there is a menstrual shift.
At first, afraid of delaying her studies, Aunt Li's daughter did not care too much, who knew that several months had passed, and the time of menstruation had been repeatedly postponed, so she had to tell her mother. After Aunt Li heard about it, she rushed to the hospital with her daughter for examination, and after being diagnosed by the doctor, she was diagnosed with menstrual irregularities. However, something that confused Aunt Lee appeared:
Only to see the doctor quickly prescribe Yousming and a series of drugs, telling Aunt Li to let her daughter take the medicine according to the requirements and soon adjust it. But Aunt Li knew that Yousming was a typical short-acting contraceptive pill.
Their own children, underage, actually want to take contraceptives? This Aunt Li could not sit still and questioned the doctor, but the doctor smiled and told Aunt Li that the contraceptive pill was not as simple as imagined.
Menstruation is irregular, but the doctor prescribes contraceptives, what is the matter?
According to the doctor's further explanation, Aunt Li learned that her daughter's menstrual irregularities were due to the influence of puberty, excessive secretion of estrogen, resulting in symptoms of endocrine balance disorders.
In other words, if Aunt Li's daughter is to recover, artificial intervention is needed and her estrogen secretion is suppressed. Similar to yousyue, short-acting contraceptives such as Yousmin, its essence is also to limit ovulation and achieve short-term contraceptive purposes by inhibiting the secretion of estrogen.
In the case of Aunt Li's daughter, short-term contraceptives inhibit the secretion of estrogen, which can be used as a suitable drug for her symptoms. Moreover, the drug side effects of short-acting contraceptives are almost non-existent, and they are naturally suitable for minors like Aunt Li's daughter, and there will be no negative health problems.
Not only that, the doctor also reminded that similar to short-acting contraceptives, you can "correct" the situation of menstrual disorders, control the cycle at about 27 to 29 days, if the menstrual cycle after taking the drug still exceeds this range, you must consider whether it is a deeper gynecological health problem, please go to the hospital in time for treatment.
In general, the role of contraceptives, in fact, is not as simple as we imagined, only contraception is so simple, excessive secretion of targeted hormones, correction of some simple and mild abnormalities in gynecology, there are also very good performances, in daily life, it is the most common 3 roles, many people actually do not know.
In addition to contraception in daily life, what can contraceptives be used for?
1) Eliminate part of acne, acne
Not only menstrual disorders, such as acne, acne that forms on the surface of a part of the skin, most of the reasons are also due to endocrine disorders.
For women, the endocrine disorders caused by hormone imbalance are also mostly, so it is also appropriate to take short-acting contraceptives to reduce hormone production and alleviate a series of skin problems caused by excessive secretion of sebaceous glands and blocked hair follicles. However, it should be noted that not all acne, acne, are related to hormone secretion, and it is still necessary for female friends to identify themselves and use drugs cautiously.
2) Relieves symptoms of dysmenorrhea
Most of the "culprits" of dysmenorrhea are actually the prostaglandins secreted in the body, yes, you heard it right, whether male or female, the body will produce prostaglandins on its own.
For women, excessive secretion of prostaglandins will promote ovulation, increase the thickness of the uterine lining and the amount of menstrual blood bleeding, which in turn will lead to menstrual pain. Short-acting contraceptives can in turn reduce the thickness of the uterine lining and menstrual blood bleeding by inhibiting ovulation, so as to alleviate dysmenorrhea and inhibit excessive bleeding.
3) Improve sleep quality
This point may not be thought of by many friends, but it is actually there, a major reason for lack of sleep, is because of changes in the law of life, or poor diet caused by endocrine disorders, and endocrine disorders will make physical discomfort more obvious, and then affect the efficiency of sleep.
As mentioned above, short-acting contraceptives can be targeted at women, play a role in regulating progesterone in the short term, in order to balance the purpose of endocrine, and naturally improve sleep quality.
But then again, it should be noted that the contraceptives here refer to short-acting contraceptives, the side effects are relatively small, the specificity of the drug is not very high, and please do not blindly choose long-term contraceptives to take, so as not to cause disorders and abnormalities in the body's hormone secretion. In addition, many people for short-acting contraceptives will cause obesity, hair loss and other problems, in fact, as long as the doctor's advice to use drugs, basically there will be no similar situation, please rest assured, scientific medication, good for health.
