Patient's question:
Which type of birth control pill is better? Which is harmless 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 daily, long-term, with each pill only effective for one day. Progestogen is indeed used for contraception. Another name for the long-term birth control pill is the short-acting oral contraceptive.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 daily 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, without end. Missing doses or stopping after one month will disrupt your body's negative feedback, causing endocrine disorders. If you must take birth control pills, do you have the perseverance to take them daily and monthly on schedule?
