Patient's question:
Hello everyone, I am 27 years old, married, but I have been living with my boyfriend for over a year now. Recently, we are not ready to get married, so we cannot get pregnant for the time being. We have been breastfeeding continuously, but I am a bit worried that taking too many birth control pills may be harmful to my health. Can you tell me if short-term birth control pills can be taken long-term?Doctor's answer:
The short-term birth control pill can be taken for a long time, and it doesn't have significant side effects, so you should relax and not feel stressed. Check how regular your menstrual cycle is, and at the same time, engage in more aerobic exercise and pay attention to safety. During medication, control your diet and weight. It's possible to experience nausea or breast tenderness again, so relax and don't feel stressed. A positive mood is very helpful for recovery.
