Patient's question:
Hello everyone, I am 27 years old, married, but I have been living with my boyfriend for over a year. Recently, we are not ready to get married, so we cannot get pregnant for the time being. We have been breastfeeding continuously, but I am a bit worried that taking too many birth control pills may be harmful to my health. Can you tell me if short-term birth control pills can be taken long-term?Doctor's answer:
Short-term birth control pills can be taken for a long time, and they don't have significant side effects, so you should relax and not feel stressed. Just observe how regular your menstrual cycle is, and at the same time, engage in more aerobic exercise and pay attention to safety. During medication, control your diet and weight, as nausea or breast tenderness may reappear. Keep a relaxed and stress-free attitude. A positive mood is very helpful for recovery.
