Patient's question:
My best friend has been divorced for over a year and hasn't been able to get pregnant. She's a bit anxious now. After a thorough check, there are no major issues. She has been with several boyfriends in the past and says she always took birth control pills. Could taking too many birth control pills have side effects, preventing her from getting pregnant? Will she still be able to get pregnant if she has taken too many birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Taking too many birth control pills may trigger endocrine disorders in women, leading to irregular menstrual cycles. In severe cases of endocrine disorders, it can affect menopausal function, causing ovulation disorders to reappear. Therefore, during daily life, when breastfeeding, it is advisable to use condoms for safety, as they have fewer side effects. You can choose to have blood tests for the six major sex hormones at the 3rd to 5th day before the expected menstrual period and adjust accordingly based on the test results.
