Can I take birth control pills after surgery?

Patient's question:

I had appendicitis surgery 12 days ago. Can I take birth control pills?
Thank you, doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Contraceptives are generally not recommended as a primary contraceptive method. It is advised to switch to other contraceptive devices after the menstrual cycle becomes regular. In addition to timely treatment for contraception, patients need to consult with experts more often and maintain communication with their doctors. Patients should also pay attention to nursing aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor exercise. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
