Patient's question:
Hello: I don't want to have children yet, and I would like to ask, what is the best birth control pill to take with the least side effects and no harm to the body?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the long-term birth control pill, as commonly referred to, is called the short-acting oral contraceptive in medical terms. Long-term (i.e., short-acting) birth control pills include Mercilon, Microgynon, and Trivora, meaning they must be taken every day, long-term, with each pill only effective for one day. Progestogen is indeed used for contraception. Another name for long-term birth control pills is short-acting oral contraceptives.If you must take birth control pills, the healthiest option is the long-acting short-acting oral contraceptive (Mercilon, Microgynon, Trivora) that requires taking one pill every day on time. However, it must be taken daily on schedule, with a 21-day cycle followed by a 7-day break (this must be strictly adhered to), and once started, it must be taken month after month, endlessly. Missing doses or taking one month on and one month off will disrupt your body's negative feedback loop, causing endocrine disorders. If you must take birth control pills, do you have the perseverance to take them daily and monthly on schedule?
