Patient's question:
My boyfriend is charming and handsome, and he is good to me, but there is one thing I really can't stand about him—it's that he alwayss inside me without considering my body. We haven't decided to get married yet, and every time hes inside me outside of my safe period, I have to take the pill. What would happen if I took the pill twice a month?Doctor's answer:
The side effects of birth control pills are significant, and they can easily lead to menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, abdominal discomfort, dizziness, headaches, and endocrine disorders. In severe cases, they may cause infertility to recur. Generally, it is recommended not to take birth control pills less than three times a year to prevent excessive use from causing endocrine disorders and subsequent infertility. It is advised to have sexual intercourse for personal safety and to pay close attention to breastfeeding to reduce the harm that unintended pregnancy can bring to the body.
