Patient's question:
I have been staying in the same room with my boyfriend for 5 days. He came inside then, and I was sad and worried about getting pregnant. Now, I basically take birth control pills every day. Yesterday, I asked a friend, and she said that taking them frequently is very bad for your health and could lead to infertility. I want to know what are the harms of continuously taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
If you keep taking birth control pills, it can lead to infertility in severe cases. Therefore, it is recommended that you stop taking birth control pills. Birth control pills cannot be used as a long-term breastfeeding tool. If you do not want to get pregnant, you can use other contraceptive methods. Condoms and IUDs are both safe options and are better than taking birth control pills. You can have your boyfriend use condoms while breastfeeding. As long as condoms are used correctly, they are very effective and have no side effects.
