Patient's question:
Is there any birth control pill that can be taken once and last for a month? It's troublesome to use a condom every time. Is there such a pill? Is it safe? What are the side effects after taking it?Does it delay the arrival of the next month's period? Thank you!
First follow-up question: If you choose to use birth control pills, which brand should you choose? Will it affect pregnancy after two years? How long do you need to stop taking the pill to get pregnant? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
1. Oral contraceptives: This is one of the most comfortable forms of contraception for women. Short-acting contraceptives are taken one tablet daily, or continuously for 22 days starting from the end of the menstrual period. They can also regulate the menstrual cycle and help alleviate symptoms such as premenstrual pain and irritability.2. Safe period contraception: This method is also one of the most comfortable forms of contraception and is most popular among men. When combined with male partner's withdrawal during intercourse, the contraceptive success rate can be raised to a level close to that of male condoms.
3. Condoms: This is the second most effective method after the above two. Disposable condoms have a contraceptive effectiveness of up to 99.6%.
