Benefits of birth control beyond preventing pregnancy
Birth control gives you freedom and peace of mind. In addition to preventing pregnancies that you may not be ready for, there are many other benefits of being on regular birth control such as monthly contraceptive pills.
Lighter periods
Less hormonal acne
More manageable cramps
Less severe PMS symptoms
Reduced risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer
After you have purchased your birth control on the Doctor Anywhere app, you can expect to receive your contraceptives within 3 hours.
Your doctor will recommend a suitable birth control method, depending on your lifestyle and medical history. Feel free to share your concerns or ask any questions you may have during the consultation — we’re here to help!
Regular birth control methods, including the monthly pill or patch, have many benefits, in addition to preventing unwanted pregnancies. Other benefits include: a decrease in hormonal acne, more manageable period cramps and period flow, reduced PMS symptoms.
Common side effects include: nausea, tenderness around your breasts, headaches, dizziness. Not to worry — these side effects tend to be rather mild and should subside after you’ve been taking birth control for a few months, once your body gets used to being on contraceptives.
Take your missed pill as soon as you can, if it’s still within 24 hours. If you’ve missed taking your pill for a few days, it’s best to use other forms of contraceptives should you intend to have sex, to ensure that you stay protected.
