Can long-term birth control pills be taken together with vitamin C?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Can long-term birth control pills be taken together with vitamin C?

Doctor's answer:

Contraceptives accelerate the rate of destruction of vitamin C, reducing the content of vitamin C in tissues and blood, thus making it easier to experience symptoms such as nosebleeds, gum bleeding, and subcutaneous tissue bleeding. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception can have certain harms on women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their self-care. Contraceptive users should take care of themselves, for example, pay attention to keeping warm and avoid contact with cold water.
