Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, living with my boyfriend for a year, and got married this year. We are planning to get married again next year because I don't want children yet. I want to have some more fun before considering having kids, so I have been using contraception. Most of the time, I use condoms, but I also take birth control pills. Do birth control pills contain antibiotics?Doctor's answer:
Hello, birth control pills are hormone-based medications and contain antibiotics. However, frequent oral use of birth control pills can interfere with future childbirth and may also cause irregular menstrual cycles. It is recommended to use barrier contraception instead, or you can avoid the fertile period for intercourse, which can also be effective for contraception. It is advisable to pay close attention and observe carefully. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
