Does taking birth control pills cause infertility?

Patient's question:

I don't want to get pregnant yet, and using condoms affects sensation, so I often use condoms. Will taking birth control pills cause infertility?

Doctor's answer:

Taking birth control pills essentially never causes infertility, but if taken for a long time, they can lead to endocrine disorders in women. Endocrine disorders can, in severe cases, result in infertility. Therefore, there is still a certain connection. It is recommended to use condoms for breastfeeding to minimize side effects and avoid intercourse during ovulation, which can also reduce the chances of childbirth.
