The Positives of Contraceptive Injections

Injections, like the combined pill are more than 99% effective when used correctly. They are also similarly effective in reducing heavy or painful periods, making them much lighter for women, with some avoiding them all together.  Yet, unlike the combined pill, no course of daily, scheduled medication is required. Instead, users need only ensure they keep up to date with the twelve week top up injection appointments scheduled. The risk of missing a pill is removed and with it some of the danger of accidental pregnancy.  The injection is also known to provide protection against cancer of the womb and uterus as well as protection from ovarian cysts and ectopic pregnancy.
