Ectopic pregnancy and abuse of the day after pill

Symptoms can manifest at the beginning of pregnancy and vary greatly from one person to another. However, many women do not have any symptoms until the ectopic pregnancy causes the rupture of one of the tubes and then there will be a reduction in fertility .

In some cases, a woman is suspected of having an ectopic pregnancy when she goes to her first prenatal visit and experiences pain during a pelvic or abdominal examination. Or, if your doctor detects a lump. It is also possible that the ectopic pregnancy is detected through an ultrasound (ultrasound) that is carried out, for other medical reasons, during the first trimester.

recommendations

Regarding the use of the pill the day after, it is not recommended more than one every six months. According to recent studies, women who use the postcoital pill more than once a month have a higher risk of cardiovascular accidents because of the high doses of progesterone contained in this contraceptive, so it should be taken only in case of extreme need and very every so often

There are numerous side effects of the abuse of taking the pill. Mainly, apart from the risk of ectopic pregnancy, we find: digestive disorders, headache, menstrual changes, vaginal bleeding, possible thromboembolic phenomena ...



The right contraceptive method

To avoid these situations is knowing how to choose the contraceptive method that suits each of us, whether it be pills, patch, subdermal implant or injections, so as not to abuse the emergency pills.

Each method according to the level or type of hormones is intended for a type of woman, since for example, hormonal contraceptives in addition to avoiding pregnancy, can be used to treat polycystic ovaries, decrease premenstrual symptoms, regularize the menstrual cycle, among others . A contraceptive is adequate when it meets our objective.

Before starting the treatment, a complete gynecological and blood pressure examination should be performed, and should be repeated on a regular basis.

In summary, emergency contraception is not a good option as a contraceptive method of normal use because any method of normal (periodic) use is more effective than pills used in emergency situations. Besides, they do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases and therefore their contagion is possible. As the name suggests, emergency contraception is only for emergencies and does not prevent pregnancy for the rest of the cycle. Therefore, it is necessary to use another method of contraception. And finally, it can lead to an ectopic pregnancy and the intervention of said pregnancy can lead to a reduction in fertility.
