Contraceptive _Pills

#ഗര്‍ഭനിരോധന_ഗുളിക #Contraceptive _Pills #birth_control_pills Contraceptive pills, commonly known as birth control pills, are a widely used method for preventing pregnancy. They contain hormones (usually a combination of estrogen and progestin, or progestin alone) that regulate the menstrual cycle and prevent ovulation. Here’s an overview of their use: How They Work Prevent Ovulation: The pills stop the ovaries from releasing an egg. Thicken Cervical Mucus: This makes it harder for sperm to reach the egg. Thin the Uterine Lining: This reduces the likelihood of implantation if fertilization occurs. Types of Contraceptive Pills Combined Oral Contraceptives (COCs): Contain both estrogen and progestin. Progestin-Only Pills (POPs): Contain only progestin, suitable for those who cannot use estrogen (e.g., breastfeeding women).
