We’ve curated this guide from Medical News Today, which explains the Types of Birth Control Pills and their efficacy and risks. This article dives into the differences between combination pills and progestin-only pills, detailing how each type works, their effectiveness, and potential side effects.
Here are some key takeaways from the article:
- An overview of how combination birth control pills and progestin-only pills work
- The effectiveness rates for each type of pill in preventing pregnancy
- Potential side effects and health risks to consider
- Benefits like reduced menstrual pain and regulation of cycles
- Situations in which a healthcare provider might recommend one type of pill over another
Note: While this article covers birth control options thoroughly, I want to emphasize that at SHEis.com, I do not recommend birth control pills due to the significant side effects. In my experience, these include lowered libido, an increased risk of cervical cancer, and a higher likelihood of depression. I believe it’s important to explore all contraceptive options—especially non-hormonal methods—so that women can make informed, health-conscious decisions about their bodies.
