If you show a napkin on a live broadcast, you will receive a complaint. If you take the pill, you will be told that you are a. Things that express ignorance of the female body are happening all the time. When will the world understand and liberate women?
When you see a girl taking birth control pills, what is the first thought that comes to mind? Many people don't think much about it and think they just want to use birth control. However, did you know that the pill is not only used as a contraceptive, but can actually regulate your period? Despite this, the word contraceptive is still stigmatized because it is immediately associated with sex.
In May of this year, a tweet about contraceptives became a hot topic. One tweet by a high school girl was retweeted by 60,000 people in the blink of an eye.
Listen, I'm taking a pill for an active high school girl.
I want to get rid of prejudice
During this time, in a health class, the teacher said, 'I don't think anyone among you is drinking,' and I was sad
Isn't that education delayed?
The pill is not only for "contraceptive" purposes
Don't narrow the shoulders of a girl who is having a hard time with a teacher
When a health teacher says, "I don't think anyone among you is drinking," students may hear it and unknowingly teach stereotypical concepts. According to the high school girl, the pill is only introduced as one of the "contraceptive methods" in textbooks, and there is no mention of the effect of relieving the pain associated with menstruation. If the public does not understand contraceptives enough, not only will they misunderstand about contraceptives and the women who take them, but they will also not be able to be compassionate towards them.

The effectiveness of contraceptives is not only contraceptives
The name "contraceptive" contains two letters, "contraceptive", but contraception is only the main benefit and does not mean that there are no other uses.
Menstrual cramps are a problem that many women have. Symptoms vary from person to person, but some people relieve pain by warming their stomachs with a hot water bottle or taking pain medication, while others are in so much pain that they can't get out of bed or walk. The other day, my stomach hurts so much when my period comes, so I had a gynecologist take an X-ray to check if there was anything wrong with my uterus. But according to the results of the examination, there is no abnormality in the uterus. In other words, for no reason, menstruation is always accompanied by pain.
Is there any other way to relieve pain other than warming your stomach or taking pain medication? In fact, one option is to take a low-dose pill as directed by your doctor.
To questions such as "Will taking the pill relieve menstrual pain?" and "Are there any side effects?", the health education promotion website of Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare (equivalent to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in Japan) answers as follows.
Low-dose pills can regulate hormonal balance and regulate your menstrual cycle. It also prevents the proliferation of the endometrium, which can relieve menstrual pain and reduce the amount of menstruation. More than 90% of patients with dysmenorrhea take the pill to relieve pain.
Low-dose pills can regulate hormones to regulate periods and relieve menstrual cramps. It can be said to be a solution that saves many women from menstrual problems.
That said, taking the pill for birth control purposes is not a bad thing. It is a woman's freedom to drink or not to drink, and it is not to be condemned by the public.

Even if you take contraceptives, there is no reason to think that you are a "woman"
Just because you're taking birth control pills doesn't mean you want to use birth control. But even if you drink it because you want to use contraception, is there anything wrong with it?
There are various methods of contraception, such as using condoms and calculating the safety period, and low-dose pills are one of them. Among the commonly used contraceptive methods, the low-dose pill has the highest success rate of 90~99%.
Of course, women have the right to choose the contraceptive method that suits them. If you have a doctor's diagnosis and there are no serious side effects, it is not strange to use the pill for birth control, it is very healthy.
"Taking birth control pills" is not a negative thing, and stories related to "sex" should not be considered dirty or obscene. Just because you're taking birth control pills doesn't mean you're open to sex, and even if you're open to sex, it's not necessarily a.
I hope that the day will come when women will be able to talk about what their bodies want, their current state, contraceptives, menstruation, etc., and that no matter which path they choose, they will find a way of life that suits them and live comfortably and freely, without being criticized without being criticized.
