Generally speaking, the main components of contraceptive pills are estrogen and progesterone. Middle aged women, as they are about to enter menopause, often have higher or lower levels of estrogen in their bodies. Taking contraceptive pills at this time can artificially increase estrogen levels, which can easily lead to estrogen level disorders. So far, the more estrogen accumulates in the body, the more susceptible menstruation is to be affected. Vaginal bleeding, breast swelling pain, growth of original Uterine fibroid, endometrial cancer, Cervical cancer, etc. will also occur.
Especially the emergency contraceptives, women over 40 years old should not touch them. Because the dosage of emergency contraceptives is significantly higher than that of conventional contraceptives, for example, each piece of Justin contains 0.75 mg of pregnancy hormone, and the short acting contraceptives contain 0.125 mg of pregnancy hormone. It can be seen that the amount of emergency contraceptives is equivalent to the amount of six short acting contraceptives. If repeatedly used in the short term, it will obviously increase estrogen disorders.
Usually, taking short birth control pills for 6-7 years and long birth control pills for 3-4 years should consider changing contraceptive methods. During the taking period, it is best to do Breast self-examination after each menstruation and cervical smear examination every year.
Husbands should consider their wives more when choosing contraceptive methods. Dr. Li Ruixia from the Gynecology Department of Beijing Armed Police General Hospital said that condoms are a good choice. In addition to contraception, they can also block bacteria that are prone to cross infection between couples. In addition, using an intrauterine device for contraception is also a good choice for middle-aged women. Currently, the material of the intrauterine device is not only of good quality, but also has less trauma.
Folk contraceptive remedies are unreliable
Vaginal flushing method for contraception
In recent years, many women have been enthusiastic about using vaginal irrigation as a contraceptive method.

However, within a limited few minutes, it is difficult for women to complete the entire vaginal cleaning operation in a timely manner after the man ejaculates. In addition, ordinary people cannot achieve the effect of hospital vaginal cleaning by washing their own vagina.
