Patient's question:
I am 23 years old and have been having sex with my boyfriend all along. Because I didn't want to use condoms, I took birth control pills. I have successfully breastfed every time, but I've also noticed that the pills have caused my period to be irregular. It's been two months like this now. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
This birth control pill contains some hormones. Generally, it is not recommended to take birth control pills while breastfeeding, as excessive consumption can easily lead to endocrine disorders and irregular menstruation. It may even affect the chances of getting pregnant in the future. You need to pay attention to this. Currently, it is advised that you stop taking birth control pills and have a thorough examination at the hospital, including the six major sex hormone tests. Based on the examination results, under the guidance of a doctor, you can take some menstrual-regulating medications for symptomatic treatment. It is generally considered that it will return to normal.
