Does men taking birth control pills cause impotence?

Patient's question:

I have discussed with my wife over the past two years about not having children. Originally, it has always been my wife taking birth control pills. But I considered that if my wife takes too many birth control pills, it might lead to infertility, so I suggested that I take the birth control pills instead. You know, does taking birth control pills cause premature ejaculation in men?

Doctor's answer:

Men taking birth control pills may cause premature ejaculation. Due to the estrogen and progesterone hormones contained in short-acting birth control pills, estrogen and progesterone can lead to abnormal penile erection function. Long-term oral intake can interfere with normal sexual function and may lead to premature ejaculation. Additionally, long-term and large doses of estrogen are likely to cause some feminine characteristics to reappear, and it is not recommended for men to take birth control pills. Also, it is necessary to pay attention to regular exercise.
