A member asked:
Been drinking a lot of water, causing frequent urination. also on birth control pill. will frequent urination effect effectiveness of birth cont. pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem: Drinking plenty of water, and urinating more after that, does not change the effectiveness of birth control pills. One should be sure to take the pills at approximately the same time each day (plus or minus an hour or so).
