Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I want to ask, is there any harm in taking birth control pills for the first time? The day before yesterday, the person I secretly liked confessed to me, and later I was a bit confused and lost my senses, so we started dating. But since it was our first time, we weren't prepared, and we were afraid of getting pregnant, so we took the pills.Doctor's answer:
Contraceptives do have some side effects, but generally, it's not a problem if taken for a short period. If taken long-term, severe cases may lead to infertility, so it's best not to use them frequently. Additionally, contraceptives do not fully support breastfeeding. You can switch to condoms for breastfeeding afterward. This way, you won't harm yourself and won't have to worry about pregnancy, providing peace of mind and a safe measure. Maintain physical and mental well-being, keep yourself clean, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
