A member asked:
If you are sexually active what should you use a condom or take birth control pills? if so what type of pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More info required: If you are using the condom that would be a female condom. You can use bc pills, but they have their problems including increasing stroke risk and don't protect from vd. Condoms can break, but at least they won't give you a stroke. I suggest you visit: planned parenthood basics, lakewood – lakewood, ca 5519 e.
