Contraceptive Pill

It has been widely demonstrated that estrogen-progestogens increase cardiovascular risk. The pill affects 30 metabolic functions. Do not overlook the importance of the smoking factor which considerably increases the vascular risk, nor the anorexigenic prescription which increases it.

Taking the “pill” always requires precautions and dietary or therapeutic correctives. Its effects are noted on:

• carbohydrates: progestins reduce glucose resistance,
• lipids: increase in triglyceride levels,
• blood pressure: promotes hypertension and increases vascular risks.

Hormonal contraception is contraindicated in cases of breast or uterine cancer

Risks: magnesium leakage - vit deficiency. B₆ and zinc - hair loss - brittle nails - heavy legs - estrogen disturbances - hepatic disturbance - character instability - weight disturbance - thrombosis - phlebitis - myocardial infarction especially in women over 35 - reduction in bone density...

Note: if the pill gives the woman control over her fertility, it does not give him control over his health. Quite the contrary.

Nutrition/Compensatory diet for the use of the pill:

• Oil of wheat germ
• Organic acerola
• Raw watercress - Raw spinach
• Fresh sprouts - Juice of young cereal shoots
• Evening primrose oil

The diet must be rich in magnesium, zinc, vitamins of the group B.

The ring: is the most recent method of contraception. It is placed deep in the vagina on the 1st day of your period: it releases estrogens and progestins which block ovulation like the pill. After 3 weeks. it is removed for 7 days for the periods to reappear. Then we start the same cycle again with a new ring.

The patch: designed to stay in place for a week and resist baths, showers and sweating, it constantly diffuses progestins and estrogens. He changes once a week for 3 weeks. The 4^th week without a patch marks the return of menstruation.

The implant: the implant is placed under the skin. The installation is done under local anesthesia. The contraceptive effect lasts 3 years. Once placed, we do not feel it spontaneously, but we can feel it. Disadvantage: it can cause small bleeding between periods.

Hormonal contraceptives do not prevent sexually transmitted infections, which condoms used intelligently claim to do.
