Patient's question:
Is it true that taking birth control pills can lead to a lack of vitamin C?Doctor's answer:
Hello, taking emergency contraception medication generally does not cause a deficiency in vitamin C. It may lead to imbalances in the metabolism of estrogen and progesterone in the body, resulting in the next menstrual period coming earlier or later. You should drink more hot water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude to enhance metabolism. From a health perspective, it is recommended to use condoms or an intrauterine device for contraception.
