Patient's question:
My sister just got married and now doesn't want children. Sometimes she also thinks breastfeeding is safer and feels that taking birth control pills is a bit more secure. Hello, what are oral contraceptives?Doctor's answer:
Oral contraceptives include female oral contraceptives, external contraceptives, and male oral contraceptives. In real life, women use oral contraceptives more commonly. Female oral contraceptives are divided into short-acting oral contraceptives, long-acting oral contraceptives, and emergency oral contraceptives. The mechanism of action of short-acting oral contraceptives is to inhibit menopause. There are Oral Contraceptive No. 1, Oral Contraceptive No. 2, and Compound 18A Contraceptive Pellets.
