Patient's question:
Doctor,I and my boyfriend had sexual activity without using contraception, and now we are very scared. Please let me know if there is an emergency contraceptive pill that is not harmful to the body. Could you introduce it to me? Please, we only had our first issue this afternoon.
Additional question: Which type of pill is there? What is the name of the pill, and is there one that is less harmful to the body? Please tell me the name of the pill.
Doctor's answer:
The side effects of birth control pills include nausea, gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, breast tenderness, slight weight gain, nervousness, low mood, missed periods, and skin problems such as brown spots and acne. Additionally, birth control pills may also cause cancer, such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, and liver adenomas. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception can cause certain harm to the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. For those using birth control, self-care measures include a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
