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 about the reason why I can't get pregnant after taking birth control pills for a year.Doctor's answer:
Long-term birth control pills or emergency contraception pills are all hormone-based medications. The side effects of these birth control drugs 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 cause secondary amenorrhea. Therefore, it is best not to constantly take birth control medications. It is preferable to adopt other methods of contraception. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
