क्या Injectable contraceptive safe है? जानिये इसके Benefits, Risks & Side Effects !

In this video, Dr Akta Bajaj explains that injectable contraceptives are a safe and effective method of preventing pregnancy for most women. The safety of injectable contraceptives has been extensively studied, making these hormonal injections a reliable option for family planning. Most injectable contraceptives contain a progestin (such as depot medroxyprogesterone acetate) and work primarily by preventing ovulation. They also thicken cervical mucus, which blocks sperm entry, and thin the endometrial lining, reducing the likelihood of implantation. When administered on schedule (typically every 8–13 weeks, depending on the formulation), injectable contraceptives are highly effective, with a very low failure rate. They offer a convenient and discreet long-term contraception option without the need for daily pills. In addition to preventing pregnancy, they may reduce heavy menstrual bleeding and menstrual cramps. Some women may also experience lighter periods or amenorrhoea over time. Like any medication, side effects can occur. Some women experience irregular bleeding, spotting, weight changes, mood fluctuations, headaches, or breast tenderness. Long-term use—particularly of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate—has been associated with a reversible reduction in bone mineral density. There may also be a delay in the return of fertility after discontinuation, typically several months. It is important to note that injectable contraceptives do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), so barrier protection may still be necessary. Overall, Dr Akta Bajaj highlights that the benefits of injectable contraceptives make them a safe, effective, and convenient birth control option for women seeking reliable contraception. #InjectableContraceptive #BirthControlInjection #FamilyPlanning #WomenHealth #Contraception #SafeBirthControl #HormonalInjection #PregnancyPrevention #DrAktaBajaj #HealthEducation Subscribe to our channel for more videos and get an answer to your queries: http://bit.ly/Subscribe_1mg Connect with us on:- To consult a specialist doctor: http://bit.ly/2PwD6QA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1mgofficialpage/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/1mg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1mgOfficial X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/1mgOfficial Visit our website at: https://bit.ly/2Zvv7JX
