Contraception in today's society is an essential element of daily life. Virtually every pharmacy can be found a whole arsenal of contraceptives, but the most reliable of them are undoubtedly hormonal contraceptives. Indeed, the effectiveness of such drugs is 98 - 99 percent. According to this indicator with hormonal contraception Hormonal contraception: Modern birth control pills   It can not match any of the known methods of protection against the possible occurrence of pregnancy.

It is not surprising, given that the female body hormones play a major role in the emergence and development of pregnancy. First and foremost among these hormones progesterone should be noted. The significance of progesterone in this respect can not be overemphasized. This hormone is involved in all stages of pregnancy, and even dozachatochny period.

• Firstly, progesterone promotes the release of an egg from the ovarian follicle.
• Secondly, due to reduction in progesterone enhanced ciliary epithelium of the fallopian tube through which the egg moves into the uterus.
• Third, the hormone stimulates proliferation (proliferation) of the mucous layer of the uterus, preparing the necessary conditions for the attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterine wall.

Furthermore, progesterone Progesterone - norm and pathology   inhibits muscle activity of the uterus, ie it reduces the tone of her muscles. This is reasonable, since excessive contractile activity of uterine smooth muscle can easily lead to miscarriage and placental abruption Miscarriage - can you protect yourself from it? . Finally, progesterone inhibits the immune system The immune system - how it works?   mother, chasing one holy goal: the preservation of the child. Otherwise, the antibodies of the female body, perceiving the developing fetus as a foreign biological object, can not only cause him serious harm and contribute to congenital diseases, and even lead to intrauterine death of unborn babies.

Now it becomes clear that the lack of progesterone makes it impossible for the normal development of the pregnancy and even its occurrence .  It is based on this and the action of certain oral contraceptives, in particular - ginepristona .  This drug did not inhibit the formation of progesterone .  The mechanism of action is different ginepristona .  Namely, in blocking interactions with progesterone receptors susceptible to the uterus .  After all, a hormone shown to its biological activity, you must have two components .  The first component - a hormone itself, and the second indispensable condition - a specific receptor, ie the nerve ending, which the hormone can interact .  It was on this second unit and directed action ginepristona .  As a result of the endometrium loses its ability to proliferate without which the egg is unable to penetrate the wall of her .  If the mucous membrane has already taken the necessary size for the implantation of the egg, ginepriston enhances uterine activity and promotes delamination hypertrophic mucosal sites .  That is why the drug can be used regardless of the phase of the menstrual cycle .

Ginepriston must be taken not later than three days after the end of the "unsafe" sex. During the two hours before and after the same amount of time the drug is eliminated any food. Otherwise, the guarantee of its effectiveness is reduced.

However, it should be remembered that ginepriston - it is not a means for daily contraception. The drug can only be seen as a measure of emergency prevention, first aid at the "accident" case (for example, damage the condom). If ginepriston used too frequently, its protective efficacy is rapidly declining. Accordingly, increasing the likelihood of pregnancy. In addition, as virtually any drug ginepriston has certain side effects. These include discomfort in the lower abdomen, bloody discharge, fever, nausea and sometimes vomiting.

To receive ginepristona there are specific contraindications, for example, renal hepatic pathology, hormonal dysfunction and other diseases. Therefore, before using the drug should consult a doctor.
