Patient's question:
Irregular menstrual cycle, have taken birth control pills. Menstrual cycle is unstable, not sure if pregnant, can get pregnant while on birth control?Doctor's answer:
After taking birth control pills, successful breastfeeding while pregnant is not advisable as there is a possibility of deformities or developmental issues. Birth control pills work by inducing the shedding of the uterine lining to achieve breastfeeding. If breastfeeding is successful, it is likely that the birth control pills did not have sufficient ability to promote the shedding of the uterine lining. This could lead to a miscarriage as the pregnancy progresses, and there is also a risk of fetal deformities. Therefore, it is absolutely not advisable to continue the pregnancy.In addition to symptomatic treatment in gynecology, the patient should pay attention to dietary aspects, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy or irritating foods. At the same time, the patient should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
