Patient's question:
Recently, my parents always urge us to have a child. I'm not young this year, so I've been considering having one. But before, my husband and I didn't want to have a child, always afraid of accidental pregnancy, and often took oral contraceptives. Hello, is it harmful to the body to take oral contraceptives frequently?Doctor's answer:
Contraceptives are usually preparations containing estrogen and progestogen. Under normal circumstances, regular use of contraceptives does not significantly affect health, and they will never affect normal fertility. If emergency contraceptives are used frequently, it may potentially disrupt normal endocrine function and also affect the function of reproductive organs, leading to the recurrence of infertility. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
