Patient's question:
Hello medical sister, you've been married for a long time, but due to work reasons, you've never had children and have been taking birth control. Now you want to have a child, but you haven't been able to. I want to consult a doctor. What could be the reason for not being able to get pregnant after taking birth control for a year?Doctor's answer:
Long-term birth control pills or emergency contraception pills are all hormone-based contraceptives. The side effects of these hormonal contraceptives are very significant, and long-term use may likely lead to the recurrence of many adverse reactions. Severe endocrine disorders and menstrual endocrine dysfunction may even result in secondary amenorrhea. Therefore, it is best not to constantly take contraceptive medications. It is preferable to adopt other methods of contraception. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
