Birth control pills especially postinor-2 commonly referred as P2 have detrimental effects on your body.
They can take a toll on your body system and cause dangerous ailments.
One of the adverse effects of these pills is that they can alter your period in one way or another.
Usually, the menstrual cycle is influenced by the sex hormones, and each month, these hormones cause the thickening of the uterine wall to receive a fertilised egg.
When an egg is not fertilised, the uterine wall usually sheds off and this is how the hormones contribute to menstruation.
These pills have been proven to attribute to irregular periods.
The pills are made up of synthetic hormones that mimic sex hormones, oestrogens and progesterone in female reproductive systems.
The synthetic hormones usually prevent the release of an egg from the ovary.
These artificial hormones in the pills suppress the pituitary glands to bar ovulation.
They also prevent the uterine wall from growing.
The hormonal changes brought about by the pills are said to afflict the regularity of the menstrual cycle.
Change in the activity of these menstruation hormones prevents the uterine wall from thickening which in turn cause irregular periods.
In a layman's language, if you are on pills, the chances are that you will experience irregular bleeding or no periods at all.
