Can you take the birth control pill once a month?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Can I take the birth control pill once a month?

Doctor's answer:

The side effects of emergency contraception pills are significant. The most direct effect is on your hormone secretion. If taken monthly, hormonal imbalance can lead to ovulation disorders or anovulation. This medication is very harmful to the body, and excessive use can cause severe negative effects. When you want to get pregnant, problems may arise. Therefore, it is recommended to take responsibility for your health and use condoms instead.
