Patient's question:
Sometimes, when I have sex with my boyfriend, he doesn't have a condom, and he doesn't want to get pregnant, so we take an emergency contraceptive pill to prevent it. I know that taking emergency contraceptive pills is very harmful to the body. But if I only take it occasionally, what harm will it do to my body?Doctor's answer:
The birth control pill contains hormone-based medications. Oral contraceptives may cause hormonal imbalances, endocrine disorders, delayed menstruation, and other issues in women. It can be used occasionally but should not be taken long-term, as prolonged use may lead to infertility in women. It is recommended to use condoms during sexual activity for contraception, as this does no harm to the body. Do not have too much pressure and always maintain a relaxed mood.
