Patient's question:
There was a time when I accidentally took my girlfriend's birth control pill while taking medicine, mistaking it for breast milk. What would happen if a man took birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
The birth control pill contains two types of hormones: estrogen and progesterone, which are naturally produced in a woman's body. Taking birth control pills adjusts a woman's menstrual cycle to prevent the implantation of an egg, thereby preventing pregnancy. This will interfere with their transformation and expansion. Once a man takes an excessive amount of birth control pills, symptoms such as reduced breast size, increased axillary hair, and facial hair may reappear, and some male characteristics may even be lost. Birth control pills typically contain estrogen.
