Do birth control pills have side effects

2021-04-09 10:09:48
Is it recommended to take birth control pills (eg. Femilon) to reduce chances of pregnancy if you are sexually-active woman with a perfectly-functioning and timed menstrual cycle? Are there any side effects to these pills, and does it increase chances of other diseases (such as cancers)?
