Patient's question:
Condition Description: I heard that using too many condoms can lead to certain types of cancer. I have been using them for 7 years, is it really not good?Past Treatment and Effects: There are no temporary adverse symptoms, and no treatment has been administered.
Desired Help: I want to know if it's really bad to use condoms for a long time. What methods of contraception are better? Are there no side effects from birth control pills anymore? If using birth control pills, which brands are better?
Doctor's answer:
Every form of contraception does not have a 100% effectiveness. Contraceptive drugs can cause irregular vaginal bleeding and menstrual disorders, and there is also the possibility of contraceptive failure. It is recommended that you use condoms for contraception. You must check the condom for any damage, detachment, or leaks before and after use to avoid accidental pregnancy. If any form of contraception results in delayed menstruation, it is important to get checked to rule out early pregnancy. For contraception, using condoms is better, as the side effects of taking contraceptive pills are too severe. Short-term contraceptive pills should be taken within 72 hours after intercourse, and only twice a year. Contraceptive pills cause significant harm to the body. Personally, I recommend using an intrauterine device (IUD) or condoms.
