Dear female friends, when it comes to contraceptive pills, there are always some misunderstandings and doubts lingering in our minds. Today, let’s talk about a common misconception: Does long-term use of contraceptive pills (short-acting) lead to infertility or fetal deformities?
Contraceptive pills are a safe and effective contraceptive method. Its main role is to achieve contraception by inhibiting ovulation, changing the nature of cervical mucus, or preventing the implantation of fertilized eggs. This medication has been proven to be safe and reliable through rigorous scientific experiments and clinical trials.
So, does long-term use of contraceptive pills lead to infertility? The answer is no. The main function of contraceptive pills is to temporarily suppress reproductive function, not to permanently impair women’s fertility. When you stop taking contraceptive pills, your fertility will gradually recover, and you can get pregnant and give birth as usual. Therefore, long-term use of contraceptive pills does not lead to infertility.
Next, let’s look at another misconception: Does long-term use of contraceptive pills lead to fetal deformities? Similarly, this view is incorrect. The main function of contraceptive pills is to prevent pregnancy during your medication period, and once you successfully become pregnant and stop taking contraceptive pills, the residual drugs in your body will be rapidly metabolized and will not affect the fetus. In fact, many women continue to take some medications during pregnancy, as long as these medications are safe and approved by a doctor, they will not have adverse effects on the fetus.
Of course, before using contraceptive pills, you should consult a doctor or professional medical personnel for advice, understand your physical condition and the medication guidelines. Also, if you experience any discomfort or doubts during the use of contraceptive pills, you should promptly seek advice from a doctor or professional medical personnel.
