Patient's question:
A 27-year-old woman has recently been experiencing discomfort, which has gradually worsened. She is asking: Could taking too many birth control pills lead to infertility?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraceptive medication should not be taken more than twice a month, and it is absolutely not advisable to take it regularly. If taken frequently, it can lead to menstrual disorders, endocrine disorders, and even affect ovarian function. Moreover, excessive use of contraceptive medication may result in infertility, as this is a possibility. Long-acting contraceptive medications, if taken for a long period, increase the likelihood of infertility.Then, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate their physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
