Can I take one pill of birth control?

Patient's question:

I haven't seen my husband for a long time. After he came home yesterday, my husband and I ended up having intense sex without using a condom. After the passion faded, I realized I hadn't brought a condom and quickly went downstairs to buy birth control pills. I took one, and now I'm very curious if taking just one pill is okay? I've never taken them before.

Doctor's answer:

The usage methods of each type of birth control pill are different. It is recommended that you take them orally according to the instructions. This ensures a safer effect of birth control. However, it should be noted that birth control pills should not be taken for a long time, as they can cause significant harm to a woman's body and easily lead to irregular menstruation or menstrual disorders. It is better to use condoms for contraception in daily life, as they are relatively safer and have no side effects.
