Which birth control pills would you recommend for a 36-year-old woman?
Asked by Female, 36 · 1 month ago
For a 36-year-old woman, combined oral contraceptives are generally safe if there are no risk factors like smoking, blood clots, or high blood pressure. Progestin-only pills or intrauterine devices may be a better option if there are health concerns. It is best to discuss with your doctor to choose the safest option based on your medical history.
