How does Microgynon work?
The Microgynon pill contains ethinylestradiol (oestrogen) and levonorgestrel (progestogen). The presence of these two ingredients make the Microgynon pill a combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP). It also means that this treatment can be more effective than some of the other progestogen only contraceptive pills on the market. As with other combined contraceptives, this medication works to manipulate hormone levels and uses a three stage approach to prevent conception.
Microgynon works by altering the lining of the womb in order to make it difficult for an egg to develop there. It also employs a few other techniques to prevent pregnancy. It tricks the body into thinking an egg has already been released and thus stops this from happening in the first place. It also thickens the fluids in the womb, reducing the possibility on any sperm being able to enter. This three-step approach make the Microgynon contraceptive pill one of the most effective contraceptive methods available.
What are the benefits?
When taken on the first day of your period, Microgynon offers almost complete protection against pregnancy. As this is a combined contraceptive pill, it contains synthetic forms of both oestrogen and progestogen. The presence of both these hormones make the Microgynon pill one of the most effective contraceptive methods available. Like other combined hormonal treatments, Microgynon employs a three-stage approach to offer almost complete protection against pregnancy. Microgynon can also be used to treat endometriosis and the symptoms associated with heavy or painful periods. Women suffering from these conditions have noticed a significant improvement when using this treatment.
Who can use this treatment?
This Microgynon pill can be used by women who are over the age of 18 and who want to use a combined contraceptive treatment. You should not use Microgynon if you are pregnant or currently breast-feeding. If you are suffering from any liver problems, heart problems, severe diabetes, unusual vaginal bleeding or have a history of strokes, you should consult with your doctor before using this treatment.
