Patient's question:
If you eat too many birth control pills, will you not be able to have children in the future?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it will not be affected. Note that emergency contraception pills contain high levels of estrogen. The dosage for one emergency pill is equivalent to 8 days of regular short-term oral contraceptive pills. Excessive intake can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, menstrual cycle disorders, ovarian suppression, and other phenomena that disrupt normal menstruation, causing endocrine disorders. If taken for a long time, severe cases may result in amenorrhea. This can affect ovulation, thereby impacting fertility. Generally, it is recommended to take it no more than 3 times a year.
