A birth control pill is a medication taken daily by women to prevent pregnancy. It contains the hormones estrogen and progestin, that work together to stop ovulation, which is the release of an egg from the ovary. Additionally, birth control pills thicken mucus in the cervix, making it harder for sperm to reach an egg, and make the lining of the uterus thinner, reducing the chance of a fertilized egg attaching. This method of preventing pregnancy is very effective when taken consistently and correctly. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to choose the best type of birth control pill for individual needs and to understand potential side effects and health concerns.
