Pregnancy is a great happiness and gift from above, although not everyone understands this. But in life, everything happens and not always pregnancy for a woman or girl is a holiday and a long-awaited gift. If in her life there was unprotected or unwanted sexual contact, then you need to act as soon as possible so as not to kill the already born small life inside yourself. And here "Postinor" comes to the rescue - an anti-estrogenic drug that stops and blocks the targeted movement of sperm cells to the egg, thereby preventing its fertilization. Postinor is very effective in this regard. But, like any potent drug, Postinor has side effects. These include:
- dysmenorrhea (painful critical days) ;
- the appearance of tension in the mammary glands;
- menstruation delay, menstrual irregularities;
- pain in the lower abdomen;
- nausea, sometimes vomiting or diarrhea;
- fatigue, increased fatigue and dizziness.
How to apply postinor?
Although Postinor has side effects, but if such an unforeseen situation with unprotected sex has developed in a woman’s life, and pregnancy is absolutely not welcome, you need to use the drug. The main thing is to know how to do it right. It is advisable to use the drug as soon as possible - you must take one tablet within two days (48 hours) after sexual intercourse. But it’s better to do it much earlier. After another twelve hours, you must take another pill. You do not need to chew tablets, just drink them with water.
You can’t frivolously use this medication to prevent unwanted pregnancy. You can use the tool only in emergency situations, when there is simply no other way. If pregnancy has already begun, you can not use the drug to terminate it, this will not help, but only cause great harm to the body.
Pregnancy after Postinor is rarely preserved, but such cases do occur. It is possible only if the process of taking the drug has been disrupted and is often an ectopic. The drug provokes a miscarriage at an early stage if pregnancy has already taken place before its use.
There is no evidence that the components of the drug pass into breast milk, so at “X-hour” after unforeseen circumstances, a nursing mother can also use it.
The delay after Postinor by more than five days or the timely start of menstruation, but other than normal, may indicate the onset of pregnancy. In this case, it is urgent to contact a gynecologist.
Postinor has contraindications. If you have an unhealthy liver or bile ducts, there is an increased sensitivity to the components of this drug, thrombosis, and there are bleeding - you should not use the drug. The alleged pregnancy and the age of 16 years are also the most severe contraindications to use, because Postinor side effects are quite serious.
After applying Postinor, it is necessary to consult a gynecologist as soon as possible for a competent choice of the method of regular contraception. In general, Postinor is a very powerful tool that causes hormonal disruption in the body .
Only in truly extreme situations can such a potent hormonal agent as Postinor be used. Its side effects are quite severe, and therefore many doctors do not recommend the use of this drug at all. You should not resort to his help, especially more often than once a year, and women with hormonal imbalances. It is also not recommended for young girls who want to have children in the future.
