Research on birth control pills led to shocking revelations.
Hormonal contraceptives: Women often consume birth control pills to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Many women consume these birth control pills without asking a doctor due to shame. Emergency pill or emergency contraceptive pill is used to avoid pregnancy after unprotected sex. It is also known as Morning-of Pills. Emergency is the best time to take pill, as soon as possible after unprotected sex. It is best to take these pills within 24 hours, but even by taking within 72 hours, pregnancy can be avoided.
Experts say that excessive consumption of emergency pills increases the risk of hormonal imbalance, irregular periods as well as ectopic pregnancy.
Recently a large Danish study has found that some hormonal birth control pills can increase the risk of stroke and heart attack. It was reported in the study that about 25 crore women worldwide use hormonal contraceptives.
