Patient's question:
I have been taking birth control pills because I don't want children, but I am very concerned about the side effects of these pills, which might prevent me from getting pregnant in the future if I decide to have children. I have been quite worried about this. How should I take the medication while breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
I don't know if the birth control pill you mentioned is a short-acting pill, a long-acting pill, or an emergency pill. Generally, it is not recommended to take emergency pills frequently to avoid affecting your menstrual cycle. The most suitable option is to decide on taking a short-acting birth control pill and take it as prescribed. Start on the first day of your period, take it every day consistently, and do not miss any doses. You can set an alarm daily to remind yourself to take it at the fixed time.
