Admission Rules and recommendations
drug makes sense to drink, when there is reason to fear an unwanted pregnancy, ie after unprotected intercourse. For the adopted tablet to give the desired result, Postinor is taken in the following mode:
- Not later than 24 hours after full-fledged sex. Then the effect is found in 95% of cases.
- Within a period of 24 to 48 hours, counting from a "dangerous" sexual intercourse. Women who use the drug according to this scheme, are not pregnant in 85% of cases.
- After 49 to 72 hours after coition. Then the contraceptive effect is reduced to 58%.
To prevent unwanted pregnancy, 2 tablets are needed. One drink in the already specified time( the first option is more preferable).12 hours after the woman should take a second pill "Postinor".
Before using the contraceptive, you should carefully read the instructions to it, in particular, the section on contraindications and adverse reactions. The failure of the monthly after postinor, sometimes observed by the girls who used it, causing many fears and questions, can be provoked by both.
How does the reproductive system respond to the "Postinor"
? Emergency contraception works due to the presence of a high dose of hormones. In Postinor, this is a levonoregel, which affects the reproductive system in this way:
- inhibits ovulation, preventing the egg from ripening and descending into the fallopian tube;
- reduces the speed and ability to fertilize sperm in the female genital tract;
- stimulates the endometrium to the rapid development and exclusion.
These properties also give a contraceptive effect. A few days after admission, a woman watches herself spotting. They go 4 - 5 days with different intensity. This is the severed layer of the uterine mucosa, as well as evidence that the danger of unwanted pregnancy has passed. However, the latter can not be considered a 100% sign, you need to make sure that the effect is achieved, using the test.
Possible causes of delay
Delay in menstruation after postinor is also a very common occurrence. Yet hormone contained in the product has a strong influence on the function of different parts of the reproductive system. Therefore, use the tool is permitted no more than 2 times a year, provided that the woman regular menstrual cycle. But adherence to all the rules of admission is not yet a guarantee that in the future the reproductive system will not be striked. If you did not go monthly after postinor, there may be several explanations for this:
Cause | Why the delay occurred |
Increased blood clotting | When initially the rate is high, from receiving postinor it can increase even more. Vessels that make up a significant portion of the uterine mucosa will not easily release the biological fluid outward. Hence, not only a delay, but also a phenomenon such as a meager monthly after postinor, when critical days will finally come. |
Violation of the use of | First of all, this change in the timing of admission. The effectiveness of postinor is also influenced by alcohol, from which, while the effect is expected, it is better to completely abstain. |
Use concomitantly with a contraceptive of other | medications Some pharmaceutical products taken on an ongoing basis or drunk concurrently with a postinor may neutralize its effect. If a woman used drugs from HIV infection( "Niverapine"), stomach ulcers( "Lansoprazole"), or barbiturates, the delay in menstruation can be caused by a combination of them with a contraceptive. The same undesirable effect results in simultaneous use with it of means based on St. John's wort, drugs for tuberculosis and epilepsy( "Oxcarbazepine"), as well as strong antibiotics. |
Minor hormonal failure | The presence of an atypical amount of levonorgestrel in the blood can disrupt the functioning of the reproductive system even in a healthy woman with gynecology. The delay in this case is up to 7 days. The other extreme, which can cause the postinor, - the monthly came earlier. It's not scary, because it has a natural explanation. The drug contains a hormone that controls the second phase of the cycle. That is, levonogestrel accelerates all its processes, hence the faster arrival of critical days. More likely a similar manifestation, if the drug was taken in the luteal phase, in which the natural concentration of gestagens is high. |
Severe hormonal disorder | This is possible under any conditions, but more likely with frequent use of postinor or existing hormonal problems. Levonorgestrel is able to disrupt the function of the ovaries and even the pituitary gland. And months after the use of the contraceptive maturation of the sexual cell can face difficulties, remain inhibited. The presence of levonorgestrel suppresses estrogens, which are responsible for its isolation and readiness to exit. |
Ignoring contraindications to the use of the drug | Postinor is prohibited for use by women who have liver problems, gallbladder who have had hepatitis. The reaction of the body in this case is not only the long absence of critical days, but also the deterioration of the general condition. |
Using Postinor in adolescence | The menstrual cycle, like the hormonal composition, has not yet reached the necessary balance. Intervention in the process of their formation of a strong dose of levonorgestrel can cause not only a prolonged absence of monthly, but also breakthrough bleeding, deterioration of well-being. |
Pregnancy | Its possibility has already been mentioned, it is not completely excluded and with absolutely correct application of a contraceptive by a woman whose cycle was clear and problem-free. When there is no monthly period after postinor, there is reason to suspect that the embryo is still entrenched in the uterus. This condition requires verification, but does not allow re-use of the contraceptive for the sake of getting rid of a diagnosed conception. There is a danger of bleeding. |
Adverse reactions of the body to Postinor | The increased concentration of levonorgestrel in it can be detected not only by drowsiness, headache and skin rashes. It can also cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. And in this case, some part of the substance may not assimilate, and, accordingly, the effect of the drug on the endometrium will decrease. Its development and rejection are able, due to a change in the balance of hormones, to slow down. |
What to do for a woman
In most cases, the true use of the drug "Postinor" danger and malfunctions, it does not threaten. But in the absence of violations of the woman instructions to the drug is possible. Therefore, it is worth considering not only delays, but also other complications, as well as options for actions when they arise:
- After postinor, the monthly ones go brown and in a smaller volume than always. This is a common occurrence caused by the presence of levonorgestrel in the body. It thickens the blood, as a result of which it folds and leaves the vessels of the uterine mucosa slower. Brown discharge becomes because this must be an oxidized biological fluid. Questions can arise if the like is observed in subsequent cycles. Then you need to go to the gynecologist to be examined.
- Delay of menstruation for more than 7 days. When after taking the postinor the monthly starts during this time, it does not matter. They can go on the first and the seventh day. Both options are the norm. But if there is no menstruation, and then you should have a home pregnancy test. Even more informative will be the analysis done in the polyclinic on HCG, since the means for self-checking can give false information about its absence. If Postinor has not had the expected effect, you will have to get rid of pregnancy in another way or decide on the issue of conservation. But here the reference to the gynecologist is inevitable.
- Prolonged discharge. How many menstrual period after postinor, depends on the characteristics of a particular organism. Given the strong hormonal effect of the drug, they can be observed up to 7 - 8 days. All that is longer is considered an undesirable side effect, although it is often encountered. With long-lasting secretions, you can cope with tincture of water pepper, a decoction of nettle. But it's better to go to the doctor and take recommendations on stopping them from him.
- Changes in the volume of menstruation. What are the monthly after postinor, is also determined not by one drug effect, but also by the individual characteristics of the reproductive system. Allocations may be more intense than usual, or on the contrary, scarce, accompanied by unusual sensations. It is important that it does not cross the limits of the norm, when the state of health worsens sharply and unbearably. Then exactly you need a doctor. If the monthly after postinor is abundant, the need for its help is also determined by the volume of excreta. Filling each gasket in less than 3 hours will definitely require stopping bleeding by professional methods and means.
We recommend reading the article about brown discharge after Postinor. From it you will learn about the indications for the use of the drug, the causes of the appearance of discharge with blood, and also about whether you need to go to the doctor.
Any features of menstruation after using this drug may be due to the length of the cycle in which it was taken. Afraid to get pregnant on critical days( which is less likely, but sometimes possible), girls would like to know whether it is possible to drink postinor during menstruation. There is no categorical ban on its use with them. But the reception of Postinor at this stage of the cycle can cause a stop of menstruation, and then resume selections. Function disorders in this case are more likely than with contraceptive use on other days of the period.
The drug "Postinor" is a past-tested substance officially approved. He can get rid of an unwanted pregnancy, but also can bring problems, especially when uncontrolled, unnecessarily frequent use. And if you can not do without emergency contraception, an extra visit to the doctor, even in the absence of problems with menstruation will not hurt. Especially a specialist visit is necessary when they arise.
