Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and fear the cold. Could you please tell me what are the long-term effects of taking short-acting birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is not possible. The side effects of birth control pills may lead to endocrine disorders, irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, infertility, or gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, weight gain, nervousness, low mood, skin hyperpigmentation, and acne, etc. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
