Growing Number of Women Reevaluate Birth Control Pill Use

Concerns over hormonal side effects prompt many to consider alternative contraceptive methods.

Recent surveys indicate a rising skepticism about the hormonal birth control pill, with 61% of women expressing concerns over its impact on body and mind.
Experts note that while the pill can have side effects such as mood swings and weight gain, these are not conclusively proven by studies.
Many women are turning to non-hormonal contraceptive methods, influenced partly by information shared on social media.
Health professionals advise that healthy women can safely stop taking the pill on their own but should plan for alternative contraception if needed.
Women experiencing persistent symptoms after stopping the pill, such as delayed menstruation, are encouraged to consult with a healthcare provider.
