Patient's question:
I am 23 years old this year and already have a boyfriend. Since I am not married and do not have the ability to bear children, I always take a lot of birth control pills after sexual intercourse. I feel sad, and taking too many birth control pills can be harmful, so I would like to ask what are the side effects of birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Long-term use of birth control pills can lead to hormonal imbalances in the body, affect the menstrual cycle, and cause other gynecological diseases. In severe cases, it may even result in infertility. It is necessary to be aware of the side effects, so long-term use of birth control pills for breastfeeding is not recommended. Other breastfeeding methods can be adopted, such as using an intrauterine device (IUD) or condoms. If you do not want to have children, it is important to take contraceptive measures to prevent unintended pregnancy.
