Patient's question:
I have been living with my boyfriend for over three months, and I have been relying on birth control pills to breastfeed. However, I have recently experienced hormonal imbalance again. I would like to ask if it is okay to take medication? What should I do about the hormonal imbalance caused by birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Hello. I am very happy to help you solve your problem! Never take medicine based on your own assumptions. Sometimes it not only fails to treat the illness but can also worsen the condition. It is best to go to a regular hospital for relevant and thorough examinations before treating according to symptoms. At the same time, please pay attention: emergency contraception pills should only be used as a temporary measure and cannot be used repeatedly for long periods. When taking emergency contraception pills, you must wait at least one month before taking the second dose, and you cannot take more than three times within a year. Otherwise, it is very easy to experience breastfeeding success, leading to side effects of emergency contraception pills (nausea, dry heaving, headache, dizziness, fatigue, breast swelling, breakthrough vaginal bleeding, menstrual disorders, etc.).
