Saya kirimkan bagian kedua mengenai KB menggunakan pil : The Pill Women hailed the arrival of oral contraceptives - commonly referred to as the Pill - in 1960, and despite some risks and side effects, the method's popularity has yet to wane. There are two types: combination pills, which contain estrogen and progestin, and the progestin-only pill (also called the mini-pill). How they work Oral contraceptives work in two distinct ways. Birth control pills that combine different hormones prevent pregnancy by suppressing the development of eggs in the ovaries. Combination pills also help thicken the lining of the uterus to keep a fertilized egg from implanting. The progestin-only pill inhibits the development of the uterine lining so an egg can't implant itself. Both types alter the consistency and chemistry of cervical mucus to block sperm from reaching an egg. Reliability The Pill is one of the most reliable birth control methods on the market, boasting a 99 percent success rate if used correctly - which means taking the pills consistantly, every day. It also means knowing what to do if you miss a pill - a good rule of thumb is to take the missed pill as soon as you remember it. If you take combination pills and you've missed more than a couple of days, check with your provider first and use a backup birth control method for the rest of your cycle. Women who take progestin-only pills follow a more rigorous schedule and must use a backup method if they are more than three hours late taking the mini-pill. Pluses Discreet and highly reliable, the Pill is favored by many women. It regulates periods and decreases menstrual cramping, and can provide some protection against ovarian and endometrial cancers, pelvic inflammatory disease, noncancerous growths of the breast, ovarian cysts, and osteoporosis. Recent developments have diminished some of the Pill's side effects, making it acceptable for nonsmoking women over the age of 35 who were not considered good candidates for the Pill. Many experts say progestin-only pills are a good choice for lactating women. But some of the hormones do pass into breast milk, although no one knows exactly how much. Studies to date show no adverse side effects in babies whose moms take the mini-pill. But Australian researchers, who published their findings on progestin-only pills in a 1997 issue of the journal Contraception, note that non-hormonal methods remain the first choice for breastfeeding women, "since there is no possibility that they will interfere with lactation." If you have any concerns, talk to your healthcare provider and your baby's pediatrician before making your decision. Minuses Some women on the combination pill report a few aches and pains, most notably nausea, headaches, weight gain or loss, breast tenderness, and bouts of depression. Rarely, the combination pill can cause serious side effects, such as blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes, especially if you smoke. Women taking the progestin-only pill sometimes complain about irregular menstrual cycles and frequent bleeding. Although the Pill allows for spontaneous lovemaking, it doesn't protect against sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and HIV infection. Cervical dysplasia, a growth of abnormal cells in the cervix associated with cervical cancer, has been linked to oral contraceptives, although more research is needed. Not all types of oral contraceptives are compatible with breastfeeding. Contraceptive Technology, a comprehensive birth control manual, notes that "combination pills appear to diminish both the volume and protein content of breast milk in some lactating women." Reversibility All you have to do to reverse the Pill's effects is stop taking it. While some doctors say women can start trying to get pregnant immediately after quitting the Pill, others are more cautious, saying women ought to wait a few months for their hormones to adjust to the change in body chemistry. If you choose to wait, use a backup method, such as condoms, before trying to conceive. Hassle Meter Your medical provider must examine you before writing a prescription for the Pill. Then you have to take one pill at the same time every day for maximum effectiveness. If you're on the Pill and are prescribed antibiotics, be sure to tell your provider and the pharmacist; some antibiotics can impair the Pill's effectiveness.
