Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Can you suggest the best medicine to avoid pregnancy with no side effects and how to take this? Please reply.

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

If you had unprotected sex and wanted to discontinue the pregnancy, you can take an emergency contraceptive pill. You can take one tablet as early as possible (maximum within 72 hours of unprotected sex). Only one tablet is required in your case, and menstrual irregularities are the side effects of these pills.

Thank you.

Hello doctor,

Thank you for your response.

I want to know the medicine for birth control and avoiding pregnancy.

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You can take regular combined birth control pills to prevent pregnancy. There are several methods for birth control, depending upon your requirements. It includes the following.

(Consult your specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.)

1. Intrauterine (IUD) devices like copper T can be inserted for five years.

2. Progestin (Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) injection every three months to prevent pregnancy.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Can you please explain more about regular combined birth control pills?

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Combination birth control pills, also known as the pill, are oral contraceptives that contain estrogen and progestin. Combination birth control pills keep your ovaries from releasing an egg. They also cause changes in the cervical mucus and the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to keep sperm from joining the egg. Please answer the following questions.

1. What is your age?

2. Are you married?

3. How many children do you have?

Thank you.
