Which women should not use birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, women over 40 are not recommended to take birth control pills because women over 40 experience a decline in ovarian function, and their menstrual cycles are easily affected. Taking birth control pills can further disrupt menstrual cycles. Smokers are also not advised to take birth control pills. Additionally, individuals with epilepsy should not take them.In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception can cause certain harm to women.
