The mechanism of action Logest

Logest - a monophasic combined (ie, having the same composition in all tablets) hormonal contraceptives, as part of which there are two synthetic hormone similar to the natural ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen analogue) and gestodene (progesterone analogue). Elevated levels of these hormones helps reduce the formation of pituitary hormones that regulate the production of sex hormones. But the sex hormones, in turn, influence the formation of pituitary hormones, lack of them stimulates the formation of these hormones, and excess - depressing. The main function of pituitary hormones - stimulation of follicular maturation, which matures the egg. If this process is inhibited, and the egg does not mature in time, then the pregnancy does not occur.

These hormones also contribute to increasing the viscosity of mucus in the cervix, and thus prevent the penetration of sperm into the uterus. Even if the egg is matured and fertilized, she will be another hurdle because of that it is worse than taking root in the lining of the uterus.

A slight increase in hormonal levels also contributes to the regulation of the menstrual cycle (reduced symptoms of premenstrual syndrome), which is the prevention of many gynecological diseases.
