Patient's question:
What are the effects of birth control pills on women's bodies?Doctor's answer:
The emergency contraceptive pill contains a high level of estrogen. The dosage of one emergency contraceptive pill is equivalent to the amount of a conventional short-term oral contraceptive pill taken over 8 days. Excessive intake can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, menstrual cycle disorders, ovarian suppression, and other phenomena, disrupting the normal menstrual cycle and causing endocrine disorders. If taken for a long time, severe cases may result in amenorrhea. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception can cause certain damage to women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Contraceptive users should take care of themselves, such as adjusting their diet appropriately and ensuring warmth to avoid catching a cold.
