Patient's question:
Every time we have sex, I always use birth control pills, which I feel significantly affects the pleasure. Moreover, my husband is very lazy and often only puts on a condom if I remind him in the middle. It makes me very worried about an accidental pregnancy. My son is already three years old, and I don't want a second child. I want to use birth control pills in the future. Are long-acting birth control pills better or short-acting birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Short-term birth control pills may have significantly fewer side effects compared to long-term birth control pills. However, birth control pills are still medications, and as the saying goes, "all drugs have side effects." They are not beneficial for women's health. Using birth control pills while breastfeeding can easily lead to irregular periods, menstrual disorders, and endocrine imbalances. You might consider using condoms while breastfeeding, as they are safer and have no side effects.
