Patient's question:
I have sex with my husband more frequently, but we are not ready for children yet. We are considering taking birth control pills for contraception, but I don't know which one is good. Is ethinyl estradiol a birth control pill? I would like to learn more about this medication.Doctor's answer:
This medication is a progestogen, primarily used to treat dysfunctional endocrine uterine bleeding, and also has a contraceptive effect. When not wanting to have children, contraceptive measures should be used. It is best to use condoms or short-acting contraceptives. Ethinyl estradiol itself is not a contraceptive, and its contraceptive effect is not accurate. It is best to use contraceptive measures. During this period, sexual activity can be practiced using: condoms, contraceptive films, contraceptive suppositories, and other external devices, which basically have no side effects.
