Patient's question:
I live with my boyfriend because he doesn't like wearing condoms every time, and I'm always inside but don't want children so I often take birth control. This month, I've taken it three times. I'm really worried about what will happen in the future. Will taking birth control three times a month cause infertility?Doctor's answer:
Frequent use of emergency contraception pills is generally never likely to cause infertility but may lead to disrupted normal menstrual cycles and delayed menstruation. However, it is important to pay close attention to contraceptive measures during future sexual activity, as emergency contraception pills have significant side effects on women. Even irregular vaginal bleeding may occur if menstrual disorders are severe and left untreated, potentially leading to infertility and interfering with conception. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
