There are many contraceptives available, one of which is injection syringe. Many choose these contraceptives compared to birth control pills because their effects last a long time, which is about one to three months. But not a few also ask whether they can have sex immediately after a family planning injection. Most feel anxious and afraid, if they have sex immediately after the injection, they are 'broken'. Then, what's the answer? See here the full review.
KB injection, a powerful contraceptive to prevent pregnancy
Injection KB contains artificial hormones (progestins) similar to natural progesterone hormones produced by the ovaries. This hormone is injected into a woman's body in the buttocks, abdomen, or front of the thigh.
No need to worry, this contraceptive has been proven to be 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. But on condition that you may not be late or forget to inject again on a predetermined schedule.
Even so, birth control injections are actually not recommended for women planning a pregnancy in the same year. These contraceptives can also change the menstrual cycle, so don't be surprised if your menstrual schedule changes after the injection is done.
Women who have certain conditions, such as diabetes with complications, have breast cancer in the last five years, lupus, and other conditions that are not recommended to use this type of family planning.
Rules for having sex after injection of KB
How it works KB injection is to stop the ovary to release the egg (ovulation) every month. This is why women who do this type of family planning will have irregular menstrual cycles. In addition, the progestin hormone also thickens mucus in the cervix, making it difficult for sperm to enter and reach the egg.
You can start birth control at any time during the menstrual period and certainly not in a state of pregnancy. It takes time for the body to absorb the hormones from the KB. This means that if you have direct KB injections having sex, this contraception will not be able to prevent conception from happening.
If you inject during the menstrual period, KB will work within five days. While if you inject outside the menstrual period, KB will work within seven days.So, you still need condoms when having sex in the first week after injecting KB.
Then when to use condoms?
After passing the first week after injection, you can have unprotected sex because KB has worked effectively and reduces the chance of pregnancy. Even so, the use of family planning does not protect you from the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. This family planning device can only prevent pregnancy.
A common side effect of injectable birth control is a changing menstrual cycle. You may experience irregular bleeding or spots. There are also those who stop menstruation and will return to their menstrual periods after stopping the injection.
Meanwhile, rare side effects include headaches, dizziness, hair loss, or changes in appetite. Reporting from WebMD, the use of long-term injection of KB, decreases mineral density in the bone thereby increasing the risk of osteoporosis.
