Will birth control pills cause infertility?

Patient's question:

Previously, my husband and I were not allowed to have children, so we took emergency contraception many times. Will birth control pills cause infertility?

Doctor's answer:

Some birth control pills, if taken excessively, can lead to infertility. It is recommended to use other methods for contraception, such as wearing condoms or having sex during the safe period. Because frequent use of birth control pills can cause endocrine disorders or symptoms like abdominal pain and nausea, and in severe cases, it can lead to infertility. After sexual intercourse, it is important to pay attention to hygiene, change underwear and clothes frequently, and expose them to sunlight often.
