Patient's question:
Recently, while having sex with my boyfriend, he refused to wear a condom, and after we finished, we found out that I was pregnant. Since we are both students, we don't want a child. When I went downstairs to the pharmacy, I noticed there are many types of birth control pills, but I don't know which ones are less harmful and have a gentler effect. Can I take birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
If you want to use medication for contraception, you can take long-acting oral contraceptives. It should be noted that when using this medication, it must be used according to the instructions. It is absolutely crucial not to use it intermittently, as this medication generally requires continuous use for 21 days, and menstruation usually occurs about three days after stopping the medication. It is best to consult with the gynecology department at a local hospital.
