Cilest

Birth control is the most significant advantage of the Cilest contraceptive treatment. The treatment, however, is also recommended to women suffering from irregular menstrual period pattern, as well as for dealing with endometriosis symptoms, such as lower abdominal, pelvis and back pain. Endometriosis is estimated to affect 7-15% of women in their reproductive years.

The contraceptive pills – Cilest are made from the combination of two active ingredients: ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate, which are synthetic counterparts of female hormones: estrogen and progestin. As contraceptive pills supress a woman’s body from ovulating, the ovary does not release the egg and the sperm has nothing to fertilize. Additionally, the hormones included in the pills thickens the cervical mucus (the substance in the uterus), which makes it harder for the sperm to get through the cervix in order to fertilize the egg. They also cause changes in the uterine lining which reduce the likelihood of implantation of the fertilized egg.

The contraceptives – Cilest may be used by adult women that are not pregnant and do not breastfeed. This order for consultation, prescription and medication is targeted for female patients searching for the low-hormone treatment. The service is offered to both women who are using or used contraceptive pills before, as well as to those patients who would like to start the treatment.

Circumstances that exclude the possibility of starting the treatment:

• pregnancy or pregnancy suspicion,
• breastfeeding,
• problems with blood clotting,
• arrhythmia or other heart diseases and disorders,
• breast cancer (even if the therapy was completed successfully),
• high blood pressure,
• diabetes with related complications,
• bleeding of undiagnosed cause.

These above-mentioned medical contraindications are only some of the possible reasons precluding from the Ciles medical service order. Please, fill in thoroughly the survey available on our site in order to get the doctor’s opinion on whether you are suitable to safely start the treatment. The survey is completely confidential and was created to ensure your safety; therefore you should not omit any details or information that may be considered significant to your health.

The best moment to start taking the pills is the first day of the menstrual cycle (the first day of the menstrual bleeding), as contraception starts working immediately without the need of using any additional contraceptive methods. Similarly to other hormonal birth control treatments, Cilest pills are taken on the 21 days of the menstrual cycle, after which there is a 7-day break, which does not stop the pregnancy prevention from working.

During the 7-day break a bleeding may occur, however, it is the withdrawal symptom and not the regular menstrual bleeding, as Cilest supresses ovulation. The bleeding helps the body to remove the excess contraceptive hormones.

There may be some side effects connected with being sensitive to some of the Cilest active ingredients. If you notice any of the following symptoms: dizziness, sickness, weight fluctuations, breast sensitivity or any other that you find alarming you should stop the treatment at once and contact a doctor or a pharmacist.
