Is there a birth control pill that is taken once a year?

Patient's question:

Can there be a birth control pill that you only take once a year?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, there has been no monthly birth control pill so far, and now there is a long-acting birth control pill that is taken once a month, as well as emergency contraception pills, which are post-coital contraception pills. If you do not plan to have a baby, you can get an intrauterine device (IUD) or wear a condom, which is relatively safer. Always taking oral contraceptives can lead to menstrual disorders. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
