Patient's question:
Good friends and boyfriend have been together for over a year. In the first six months of this year, the good friends have already started living together. However, because he was uncomfortable with the condom, the good friend had to take birth control pills afterwards. In these six months, the good friend has taken the pill about ten times. But the good friend's friend knows and scolds the good friend, saying that short-acting birth control pills are equally harmful. Does taking short-acting birth control pills cause infertility?Doctor's answer:
Many people think that the harm of taking short-term birth control pills is not so serious, so they keep taking it continuously, which is actually wrong. Short-term birth control pills also have significant harmful effects. The side effects of birth control pills may lead to endocrine disorders, menstrual disorders, irregular, or gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, weight gain, nervousness, low mood, skin spots, and acne, etc. Birth control pills should not be taken more than three times within a year. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
