Hi there,Dr. Purushottam Neurgankar here.
I appreciate your view on use of oral contraceptive pills.
Third generation oral contraceptive pills that are available now a days are quite safe and are almost devoid of any major side effects.
Next Steps
Please seek prescription help from your treating gynecologist for low dose oral contraceptive pills, usually a pack of 21 tablets containing combined pills is available in the pharmaceutical store.
While starting for first time, start on day 2 of the cycle. Continue 21 days on tablets and 7 days off tablets. Depending on your need for contraception, you can very well use them for 3 years.
