The contraceptive pill has an effective rate of 99.9% and is a popular contraceptive method. It not only prevents unwanted pregnancy and protects women from harm, but it is also a therapeutic drug. However, "it's a three-point drug", and taking too many hormone drugs such as birth control pills will not only have a negative impact on endocrine, but also cause harm to women's bones and skin. Therefore, women who take birth control pills for a long time need calcium supplementation.

In fact, the main component of oral contraceptives is progesterone or estrogen, which promotes the detachment of the endometrial lining and prevents the implantation of a fertilized egg, thereby achieving contraceptive effect. In addition, it also has the effect of achieving contraception by inhibiting ovulation.

However, long-term use of birth control pills will affect the strength of bones, reduce bone density, and accelerate osteoporosis. Therefore, women who take contraceptives for a long time should pay attention to calcium supplementation.

Calcium supplement for women

Calcium supplementation, for adult women, eating high-calcium foods, such as small shrimp, milk, eggs, etc. Especially milk, can not only supplement calcium, but also supplement protein, vitamin B family, and help women's beauty and anti-aging. Some experimental data show that women's waistline will shrink after drinking milk for a long time.

For Asian women who are beautiful in white, calcium supplementation should not only eat calcium-containing foods, but also pay attention to the sun. Effective calcium supplementation requires the participation of vitamin D. If vitamin D is lacking, bone headaches, joint pains, weak resistance and obesity will soon occur.

More than 90% of vitamin D comes from the skin exposed to ultraviolet rays, so women should pay attention to sun exposure for calcium supplementation.

Other drugs containing hormones can also promote the occurrence of osteoporosis.

In this case, you must remember to take calcium supplements. In addition to dietary calcium supplements, you need to take calcium tablets when necessary.

In addition, thyroid hormones, adrenal hormones, etc. can also affect bone health. In addition to calcium supplementation, pay attention to the side effects of long-term use of calcium tablets, such as belching, constipation and other problems.

Regarding hormone drugs, although they have serious side effects, the fact that they can cure diseases cannot be ignored.

Such as contraceptives, can treat uterine ectopic, irregular menstruation, less menstrual flow and other effects.
