Patient's question:
Hello, my girlfriend and I are going to have sex for the first time and don't want to use condoms. I've heard that birth control pills can harm your health, but I'm not sure if that's true. If it is, could you please advise on how to choose birth control pills or what other measures would be better? Thank you.First follow-up question: Are birth control films reliable? Do they have side effects? Also, what birth control pill is best for emergency contraception?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the ingredients of birth control pills from different brands are basically the same, all of which prevent ovulation, so they can all be used. However, remember one thing: birth control pills can cause menstrual disorders and should not be used long-term. It is better to use other methods of contraception. Moreover, as a form of contraception, emergency birth control pills, when taken long-term, can easily lead to abnormal ovarian function, ovulation disorders, and infertility. Therefore, for women who have fertility requirements, it is best to choose condoms for contraception.
