What are the harms of using birth control pills to the human body?

Patient's question:

I've never reached the stage of getting married with my boyfriend, so I've been very careful during sexual activity to prevent pregnancy from happening again. Sometimes I take a lot of birth control pills and want to consult about the harm of taking birth control pills on the body. Will it affect future fertility?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you are taking short-term oral contraceptives, this itself is not harmful to the body but rather beneficial. Short-term oral contraceptives can not only provide some effects similar to breastfeeding but also regulate menstruation and help prevent the recurrence of cervical cancer. However, if you are taking emergency contraceptives, this should not be used frequently, as it can disrupt hormone levels in the body.
