Patient's question:
Can you take progesterone birth control pills during your menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
Contraceptives can be divided into long-acting and short-acting contraceptives. Short-acting contraceptives are usually taken starting from the 3rd day of the menstrual period, while long-acting contraceptives are generally taken orally from the 5th day of the menstrual period. Therefore, it is possible to use contraceptives during the menstrual period. Before taking either type of contraceptive, it is important to carefully read the instructions or follow the doctor's advice.
