Short-acting contraceptives and emergency contraceptives are stupid and confused
Short-acting contraceptives and emergency contraceptives are stupid and confused. When you hear this medicine, many people will think that both of them have similar effects, and they are both contraceptives that work in a short time, but this cognition is actually biased. Let's take a look at short-acting contraceptives and emergency contraceptives. Short-acting contraceptives and emergency contraceptives are silly. 1
In the United States, the contraceptive prevalence rate is very high, especially short-acting contraceptives, which are included in the daily life of more than 6% young women. If you often watch American TV series, you may notice that girls talk about a word "Pill" when chatting, such as: The pill is a tablet you take once a day. Pill means pills and tablets in medicine, and most of them refer to short-acting contraceptives in American life.
So, what exactly is a short-acting contraceptive? What is the difference between short-acting contraceptives and emergency contraceptives? Do short-acting contraceptives have side effects?
how "short" are short-acting contraceptives?
China people are unlikely to accept it, which may be related to Chinese names. How short is the "short effect"? We are familiar with the "emergency contraceptive", and we can literally understand that "emergency" is like putting out a fire. What is the "short-term effect" of putting out a raging flame urgently?
Well, it's so short:
It only takes effect during the medication period. Usually, one tablet is taken every day for 21 days in a cycle, and it will take effect after 7 days of continuous administration. If it is missed today, it can be replenished within 12 hours. If it is missed for two or three days, it will also be ineffective. Simply put, you need to punch in the card every day, take a tube for one day, and leave it alone if you don't take it. If you miss the service, you can make up the card within 24 hours, and the overtime will be invalid. Therefore, this drug often marks the date or day of the week for you, which is super sweet.
does it sound troublesome and desperate?
This relationship is like a warm man who greets you every day and says good night to you, and never misses a day. And every day he treats you well is to accumulate an image of "loving and guarding you forever". Unlike love rat, I only care about you when I think of you, and I only get close to you when I need you, and I only solve one problem at a time.
the short-acting contraceptive PK emergency contraceptive
is also a contraceptive, but the difference between them is not small.
first of all, the rules of taking medicine are different. As mentioned above, short-acting oral contraceptives need to be taken every day, with a cycle of 21 days. After stopping taking drugs for a few days, they will come to menstruation and enter the next new cycle. The emergency contraceptive must be taken within 72 hours, and the sooner the better. Some drugs need to be supplemented after 12 hours to consolidate their efficacy. If vomiting occurs within two hours after taking the medicine, they must be supplemented.
secondly, the composition and principle are different. The main components of short-acting contraceptives are low-dose progesterone and estrogen. The progesterone component in the new oral contraceptives is very close to human progesterone. This low-dose hormone will make the body mistakenly think that it is pregnant. At this time, the body suspends ovulation, which is equivalent to turning the egg cell into a proper "house girl".
The emergency contraceptive contains a large amount of progesterone, and the amount of hormone ingested at one time is equivalent to that in the 8-day conventional short-acting oral contraceptive, so as to fully interfere with the formation and implantation of fertilized eggs.
Third, it has different effects on women's health. Short-acting contraceptives are more beneficial to women's health, such as reducing the risk of ovarian cancer, because the eggs become "house girls" and the ovaries have a rest.
In fact, every ovulation is a slight damage to the ovary. As long as there is damage, it will be repaired, and repeated repair is a fuse for cell division to produce gene mutation, so reducing the number of ovulation will reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.
At the same time, it can also postpone menopause, because the total amount of eggs in a woman's life is limited. If the "pause button" is pressed many times on the road of ovulation, the total time from menarche to towel extinction will be lengthened.
The emergency contraceptive pill can be regarded as a "powerful medicine". Taking it at one time and in large doses can easily cause endocrine disorder and menstrual cycle changes in women. Progesterone may also slow down the peristalsis of fallopian tubes, so that the fertilized eggs that have been formed get stuck in the fallopian tubes, resulting in ectopic pregnancy.
The difference between them can be taken as an example. The same is running and fitness. Short-acting contraceptives are running 5 kilometers every day, while emergency contraceptives are running a 42-kilometer marathon if you don't exercise at ordinary times. Therefore, some experts suggest that emergency contraception should not be used more than three times a year, but at most once a month, and it should never be used as a routine contraceptive method.
Do short-acting contraceptives have any side effects?
yes. And some people are not suitable for taking it.
When women have some serious gynecological diseases, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, it is suggested to stop taking drugs immediately. There are also most gynecological diseases that require to stop or reduce X life during the treatment period.
Short-acting oral contraceptives contain estrogen, although it is very small, but estrogen can make the fluid in blood vessels transfer to the tissue space. During the medication, women's body edema reduces blood circulation, blood flow slows down, blood pressure increases, the risk of thrombosis increases, and the incidence of myocardial infarction and stroke increases.
Generally speaking, doctors don't recommend people with obesity, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, people with diabetes and family history, people with thrombotic diseases, tumors, liver and kidney diseases, smoking, especially older women (over 35 years old) and lactating women to take oral contraceptives.
It's also best for users to take blood pressure regularly and check their liver function. Before choosing to take such drugs, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a physical examination and use drugs scientifically and rationally under the guidance of doctors.
In a word, the contraceptive pill has protected countless men and women, and changed the role of women for half a century, making women face family relations and sexual relations more bravely. This is the gospel of mankind, and we should all thank George. Short-acting contraceptives, emergency contraceptives, can't be confused. 2

Which is more popular among women, emergency contraception or conventional short-acting contraception?
Generally speaking, taking emergency contraception after sexual intercourse is a very popular remedial contraceptive method for female friends. Common emergency contraceptives are Danmei, Yuting, etc. Yuting is a stomach-soluble tablet, and Danmei is a levonorgestrel enteric-coated tablet. It is an emergency contraceptive protected by patent and has obvious contraceptive effect.
Danmei uses patented enteric-coated technology to make tablets not dissolve in the stomach, but only dissolve and absorb after reaching the small intestine, thus avoiding the damage to the gastric mucosa and alleviating the symptoms of gastric irritation. At the same time, the pharmaceutical ingredients can be "locked" in the small intestine, so that the tablets are prevented from being spit out due to drug-induced vomiting, so that the dosage is accurate and the contraceptive effect is improved.
