How does an emergency contraceptive work?

emergency contraception is a type of contraceptive control that is taken within five days of unprotected sexual activity to prevent pregnancy, although the sooner it is, the more effective it will be. Emergency contraception is sometimes referred to as "day after the pill" or "Plan B", a brand of popular form of emergency contraceptive pills only progestine. While women would be advised to have an emergency contraceptive at hand, they should not rely on it as a form of contraception, and should also be aware that they will not protect them from infection of sexually transmitted diseases (STD). It works by preventing eggs from leaving the ovary, an inhibiting semen's ability to penetrate the egg, or by implantation of the egg into the uterus impossible. In this way, conventional contraceptive pills also work, although they do it routinely with a lower hormone dose rather at a time with a high dose that can cause nausea, vomiting and feelings of general malaise.

A woman may want to consider accepting emergency contraceptives if she had unprotected sexual activity, missed or skipped pills, forgotten to insert a ring or apply her patch or experience forced sexual activity. Ideally, emergency contraceptives should be performed in the form of a pill of only progestin, such as Plan B because it has a higher level of efficiency. If emergency contraceptives are not easily available, it can be duplicated using high doses of regular contraceptive pills under the nurse or doctor.

Many patients who used hormonal emergency contraceptives complain of nausea and vomiting, and patients may consider using the pill against NEVODEA along with their emergency contraceptives or inserting pills vaginally, allowing hormonas to absorb directly. Non -hormonal emergency contraceptives are also available; copper intrauterine device (IUD) that can be left to avoid pregnancySt. or discarded in the next menstrual period. IUD must also be inserted within five days of the incident.

No form of emergency contraceptives will have an impact on existing pregnancy, although doctors do not prescribe it to a woman who is known to be pregnant. Also because emergency contraceptives do not protect against STD, women may want to test them for unprotected sex with an unknown partner. If you want to get emergency contraceptives and StD testing, women can seek local public health or planned parental clinic or visit a private doctor.
