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. It has been successful in preventing pregnancy every time, but I have also noticed that the pills have caused my menstrual cycle to be irregular. This has been going on for two months now. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
This birth control pill contains many hormones. Generally, it is not recommended to take birth control pills for contraception, as excessive consumption can easily lead to endocrine disorders and irregular menstruation. If not handled properly, it may also affect the chances of getting pregnant in the future. You need to pay attention to this. Currently, it is recommended that you stop taking birth control pills and have a thorough examination of sex hormones, including the six major hormones. Based on the examination results, under the guidance of a doctor, you should take various menstrual regulation medications for symptomatic treatment. It is generally considered that it will return to normal.
