Everyday many young woman consult me regarding I-pills.
Its sad how many of these woman are destroying their body and mind, by lack of information.
Few facts that every woman should know before having ipill -
1. The i-pill is only safe for women between the ages of 25 and 45.
Teenagers should avoid it.
Sex education should teach teenagers about alternative methods of contraception.
2. The i-pill is a hormonal pill, so it will cause hormonal changes.
Frequent usage of the same can destroy the menstruation cycle, lead to ovarian damage and infertility.
It has been known to induce PCOD in many woman.
3. The i-pill is not without side-effects. Most common side effects -
- It reduces sexual interest,
- lead to skin allergies - acne on face is common,
- moderate to severe changes in periods
- severe headaches
- Severe vomiting,
- breast tenderness,
- lower abdominal ache,
4. The i-pill is not an abortion pill. It stops pregnancy but cannot terminate it. Therefore it is ineffective if a woman is already pregnant.
5. An i-pill is meant for emergency contraception. It should be taken preferably within 24 hours and before 72 hours or else the pill may turn useless.
6. The gap between two i-pill's consumption should be at least 3-4months. Else you are subjecting yourself to severe internal side-effects on your skin, ovaries and mental health.
