EMule beta1, an oral contraceptive pill, works by stopping ovulation, preventing fertilization and thereby preventing pregnancy. It is taken once a day for six months to one year and should be taken under the guidance of a medical professional. The pills are made from synthetic compounds, which includes both estrogen and progestin. This can cause some side effects, especially when used for women who already have a history of birth control related issues.
Short term side effects include: increased menstrual flow, vaginal spotting, vaginal odor, headaches, bloating and irregular or light periods. Long term use can have similar side effects, such as: increased menstrual flow, vaginal spotting, vaginal odor, fatigue, nausea, fatigue, constipation, headaches and weight gain. There are also potential cancer risks associated with EMLA, especially the high dose. In one case, the risk was reported to be greater than a group of non-pregnant adults with no family history of breast or ovarian cancer. It is important to talk to your doctor about any other possible risks or side effects associated with EMLA, especially if you smoke. Smoking increases your risk of breast cancer and causes ovarian cancer.
Some of these side effects can be easily remedied with a change in diet. In women who smoke, it can help them quit. Women who eat foods rich in fat, such as fatty meats, can lower their chance of getting pregnant. Also, taking herbs, such as fenugreek, can help to reduce the estrogen hormone that is blocking the body from producing an egg. Fenugreek is a good choice of herb for menopausal women as it has been shown to be helpful to fight hot flashes, heartburn and infertility problems. If you would like more information on EMLA and possible side effects, you can speak with your physician or pharmacist or consult online for more information.
