Is it true or not? taking contraceptive pills for a long time make it difficult to have children
Does long-term use of birth control pills make it difficult to conceive? This is a common question among mothers who have taken birth control pills, and they often feel anxious about it. This article will address all the doubts and concerns regarding birth control pills. Is it true that frequent use of birth control pills leads to infertility? How long should one stop taking birth control pills before getting pregnant?
Doctors confirm that continuous use of birth control pills for a long period does not make it difficult to conceive after stopping them. It does not pose any health risks to women with normal health and no underlying conditions. The recommendation from doctors is that for individuals who wish to conceive after long-term use of birth control pills, they should stop taking the pills for 1-3 months to allow their body to return to its natural cycle and achieve the highest level of balance and normalcy.
However, the use of emergency contraceptive pills carries potential risks. The more frequently they are used, the higher the chances of side effects. It may reduce the effectiveness of birth control and increase the risk of unintended pregnancy. There is also a risk of ectopic pregnancy, where the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus. Therefore, emergency contraceptive pills should only be used when necessary
