Patient's question:
I and my husband had sex while taking the short-term birth control pill, and it broke. What should I do if the short-term birth control pill breaks?Doctor's answer:
It's normal for the skin to peel when taking short-term birth control pills. Common side effects of short-term birth control pills include irregular peeling and menstrual irregularities. Currently, if the peeling is minimal, it's important to carefully observe the amount of bleeding. If it's not significant, treatment is not necessary, and you should avoid using short-term birth control pills in the future. If the bleeding is heavy, you will need to stop the medication and use topical treatments or medication to alleviate the symptoms. Be mindful not to miss any doses of short-term birth control pills. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
