Patient's question:
I have read some information about birth control pills. It seems that taking birth control pills does not have much side effects for girls. Then does taking birth control pills delay menstruation?Doctor's answer:
To know there are several types of birth control pills, and each has different side effects. Generally speaking, short-term ones have the least side effects for women, but they can be a bit troublesome to take, requiring one pill daily for 21 consecutive days, followed by a 7-day break. During the break, menstruation will occur. Taking short-term birth control pills not only does not affect menstruation but can also regulate it. However, emergency contraception pills are not as good, as they have larger side effects and can also cause menstrual irregularities.
