Patient's question:
You have been taking short-term birth control pills for half a year. Can you switch to long-term birth control pills next month to continue contraception directly?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, stopping long-acting birth control pills should involve starting short-acting birth control pills on the fifth or third day after your period. The specific timing depends on the name of the birth control pill, and you can find detailed instructions in the user manual. In fact, in general, practicing any form of contraception can cause some harm to the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their diet. Contraceptive users should take care of themselves, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
