Patient's question:
Because now I often don't breastfeed when I'm with my boyfriend, and later I go to the pharmacy to buy medicine to take. The girls at the pharmacy told me that eating it frequently is not good for your health and can easily lead to infertility in the future. I'm afraid they might be lying to me, so I want to ask if taking birth control pills can cause infertility?Doctor's answer:
The medication the patient is taking should be emergency contraception. This is a post-coital contraceptive measure. The side effects of this type of birth control pill are significant, and it should not be used frequently. Strictly speaking, the number of times it should be used per year should not exceed three. The method of use the patient is employing not only affects their physical and mental health but may also lead to infertility in the future. It is recommended that the patient stop using this medication and consistently practice contraceptive measures. Additionally, it is important to closely monitor their menstrual cycle.
