Can Prolonged Use Of Positron Cause Infertility?

Hi Doc, I have been using postinor 2 for a year now..normally I take them two tablets every month...that is once per month. I have never had any side effects and it works perfectly for me, only that it changes my menstruation cycle. My friends recently told me that prolonged usage of postinor 2 could cause infertility. that it should be taken only twice per year. Is it true that chances of causing infertility are high?Thanks.Lydia

Hi,

No, long-term use of the pill may not affect your fertility. Once you have stopped taking the pill, you may take some time for your body hormonal balance. It could be a few months before your menstrual cycle settles down into a regular rhythm. Long term use of hormonal pills can cause other side effects like fluid retention, weight gain, headache, hypertension. For these reasons you should avoid taking them regularly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
