Is it better to take birth control pills or for men to use condoms?

Patient's question:

I don't want to have a second child for now, and I don't want to get an IUD. Should I take birth control pills or use a male condom?

I've heard that it can cause weight gain? Is that true? I haven't taken birth control pills before, and I don't know what the scientific basis is for it.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, using birth control pills can easily cause menstrual disorders, it's best to use condoms. Generally, using condoms has no side effects.
