Patient's question:
How long can you get pregnant after taking birth control pills like Cirmadan? I've been taking them for about five months now. Can I get pregnant? Will it affect the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Birth control pills can delay the next menstrual period due to their effects of inhibiting and delaying ovulation and suppressing the endometrium. This may also be caused by a temporary increase in hormone levels in the blood due to taking the medication, followed by a decrease and subsequent withdrawal bleeding, which manifests as an early menstrual period. The side effects of birth control pills may lead to endocrine disorders, menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea, infertility, or gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, weight gain, nervousness, low mood, skin hyperpigmentation, and acne. Excessive use may result in infertility in the future. Birth control pills should not be used more than three times within a year, and only once per month.
