Patient's question:
I have been living with my boyfriend for almost two years. A few days ago, we had a one-time sexual encounter, but since we are both still young, we are not in a hurry to have children. After having sex, I took a birth control pill. However, I've heard that birth control pills have many side effects. Will I still get pregnant after taking the pill?Doctor's answer:
If you only take birth control pills occasionally, it may interfere with pregnancy, but it also has certain side effects. Therefore, it's best to check your physical condition at the hospital before trying to conceive. If you don't want a child now, it's best to take contraceptive measures before engaging in sexual activity. Although emergency contraception pills can be used, taking too many can also lead to infertility. It's still better to avoid them as much as possible.
