Few Important things To Know About Norgeston

Norgeston is a mini-pill which contains artificial form of progestogen (female sex hormone) called levonorgestrel. It is well known as effective as a combined contraceptive pill in preventing accidental pregnancy. Women, who are unable to deal with the side effects of oestrogen hormone, resort to this mini-pill as it only contains progestogen. It is also a safe option for women who are breastfeeding, smokers or over 35 years of age.

This oral contraceptive pill has gained immense popularity as it can help in:
  • Alleviating the uncomfortable symptoms of PMS
  • Reducing the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer
  • Reducing the likelihood of side effects
  • Making your periods lighter and less painful
The Norgeston Progestogen Only Pill stops you from getting pregnant by working in three unique ways. Firstly, it makes the cervical mucus thicker so that the entry of sperm into the womb becomes difficult. Secondly, it prevents the uterine lining from thickening due to which an egg is unable to attach itself and grow in it. Lastly, it also stops the release of egg from the ovaries each month (ovulation). However, ovulation may not be paused in all women who take the pill.

Like all medications, Norgeston can cause some side effects which are mostly mild in nature. You should inform your doctor immediately if you experience any unusual side effect after using this medication. The possible side effects are changes in menstrual bleeding, diarrhoea, nausea, breast tenderness, dizziness, headaches, abdominal pain, fatigue and vomiting.

Hormonal Contraception With Cerazette

The mini-pill is an exceptional substitute for women who experience serious side effects due to the presence of oestrogen. It is a well-tolerated pill for women who breastfeed, smoke, or are above the age of 35. The oestrogen related side effects can be listed as breast tenderness, fluid retention and headaches. Some women who switched from other combination pills to Cerazette experienced improvement in the symptoms. Each Cerazette 75mcg tablet contains desogestrel, which is an artificial form of the female sex hormone progestogen. It is considered a perfect mini-pill as it can also be taken up to 12 hours late, giving you a greater flexibility.

Just like any combined contraceptive pill, the Cerazette Progestogen Only Pill is almost 99% effective in protecting women from pregnancy. It is the only mini-pill which is likely to prevent the ovulation (release of eggs) in every instance. You need to take a pill every day as there is no break of seven days, unlike combined contraceptive pill. This medication becomes more effective if you start taking it from the first day of your period.

If you have to wait up to fifth day before starting the pill, you should use another barrier protection for the next seven days. This is usually advised to ensure that you do not conceive during this time. The doctors mostly do not prescribe this medication to women who are going to be immobile for a long time due to a major surgery. Moreover, it is also not suitable for women who have had blood clots or a history of jaundice. You can read more about this medication on ContraceptionClinic.co.uk.

An Overview On Noristerat Injection

Noristerat,  a contraceptive injection, is a short term reversible contraception. This contraception consists of norethisterone enanthate as its main ingredient, which is a synthetic version of progestogen. This injection is to be administered by a doctor. The administration of this contraceptive injection is to be carried out either on the upper arm or your buttock. A reservoir of synthetic progestogen is created in the area, from where the hormone is slowly released into your bloodstream over a period of eight weeks.

Noristerat progestogen-only Injection works in three different ways to prevent a woman from conceiving. First, it prevents the process of ovulation by not allowing the egg to ripen and be released from the ovaries. Second, this contraceptive injection prevents the process of fertilisation of the egg by thickening the cervical mucous. This makes the entry of a sperm from your vagina to your womb difficult. Finally, this contraceptive injection prevents the thickening of the womb lining, making it difficult for a fertilised egg to implant and grow further.
Noristerat has numerous benefits, which includes significant reduction in heavy and painful periods that they might be experiencing. This progestogen-only Injection does not interact and cause side effects with any other medications that you might be taking. This contraceptive injection can also bring about a significant reduction in the PMS symptoms that a woman might be experiencing. This injection also gives you protection against cancers of the womb and ovaries. For more information on side effects and benefits of this progestogen-only Injection.

Are Side Effects Of Yasmin Worth Worrying About?

Side effects are referred to as an unwanted response to certain medications which can either be mild, severe, permanent or temporary. Birth control pills like Yasmin are known for preventing conception quite effectively, but it may also cause side effects because it is a prescription medication. The intensity of these side effects may vary from person to person. Yasmin is one of the most popular oral contraceptive pills available today. It falls under the category of combined contraceptive pills as it consists of two synthetic hormones, namely drospirenone and ethinylestradiol.

Yasmin is considered unique as they significantly reduce the risk of weight gain, which is a common possibility with other pills. Although, a large number of women are inclined towards this effective hormonal contraceptive pill, there are many women who feel apprehensive about the potential side effects. Yasmin is taken for 21 days of your menstrual cycle after which there is a break of seven days. During this time, you may experience a few side effects if your body is sensitive to the influx of hormones.

If you are using the pill for the first time you may experience few side effects, as it takes time for your body to get used to the ingredients in the medication. However, these side effects don’t normally tend to last long. The most common side effects are nausea, headaches, breast pain, menstrual changes and abdominal pain. This medication is usually not prescribed to women who had complications such as blood clot or stroke, heart diseases, uterine or breast cancer, kidney and liver diseases and high blood pressure.

Information On The Norgeston Mini Pill

Norgeston is a popular contraceptive pill, which falls under the category of progestogen only pill. This pill consists of a single synthetic hormone of progestogen as its chief ingredient. The synthetic hormone present in this pill as its chief ingredient is levonorgestrel. Combined pill, a counterpart of the progestogen only pill or a mini-pill, contains oestrogen along with progestogen and works in three different ways to prevent pregnancy. A mini-pill, on the other hand, works in just two ways to prevent a woman from conceiving.

Norgeston mini-pill is the only pill that works just like a combined pill despite the absence of a synthetic oestrogen in the pill. First, the Norgeston is a mini-pill and works to prevent ovulation, a process that occurs when an egg ripens and is released from your ovaries. This is the process that no other mini-pill except for Norgeston and Cerazette can carry out. Second, this pill prevents fertilisation of an egg by thickening the mucous present in the neck of your womb. Norgeston mini-pill makes it difficult for a sperm to travel from your vagina to the womb for fertilising an egg.
 
Finally, the womb lining is prevented from becoming thick, which does not facilitate a fertilised egg for implantation and further growth. This pill may give you the benefit of reduction in menstrual pains that you experience. It also greatly reduces the risk of side effects in comparison to a combined pill. Norgeston also reduces the risk of developing cancers of endometrium and ovary. This pill also gives you the benefit of relief from PMS symptoms that you might be suffering from.
