Birth control pills are oral contraceptive medicines, used by women, to prevent

an unwanted pregnancy. While this is considered as an easy way to keep a check on

the size of the family, medical experts say that the use of such medicines leads

to adverse effects on the body and mind of the person consuming it. It is

recommended that women should not pop up such pills without the prescription of

doctor, because their consumption might create an imbalance in the functioning of

the body, leading to a number of ailments, both physical and mental. Therefore,

it is very important to think twice before opting for this method of controlling

birth.
