Taking birth control pills is not good. This is because oral contraceptives can cause menstrual disorders, a decrease in menstrual flow or disruption of the menstrual cycle. In addition, oral contraceptives can cause water and sodium retention in the body, which can lead to weight gain and obesity in women. Oral contraceptive pills are also bad because they can cause blemishes on women’s faces and may cause reduced skin elasticity, dullness and lack of luster. It is recommended that oral contraceptives should not be taken as a last resort. There are more clinical methods of contraception, such as using condoms during the whole process of sex, and women can get an intrauterine device, which is a good method of contraception.
