Patient's question:
7 days ago, I had sex with my boyfriend without a condom. Now I can't get pregnant, so I took birth control pills. I used to understand that taking birth control pills can cause side effects like menstrual disorders, and I'm quite worried that my body might have another problem. What are the consequences of taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
The hormone in this birth control pill may cause endocrine disorders and irregular menstruation after consumption, but generally speaking, having it occasionally has little impact, so there's no need to worry too much. Even if your period comes earlier or later again, you don't need to worry too much either. The next period may return to normal, or you can focus on ( refers to dietary and lifestyle adjustments to regulate health). However, despite this, it's still recommended not to overuse it, as long-term consumption is not good for your health and makes regulation more difficult. In severe cases, it may even affect your future fertility.
