Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Yes you need to consult a gynecologist to start taking birth control pills. There are many different types of birth control pills with different composition, and the choice of the right kind for you should be determined by your doctor. This is because the doctor needs to assess the details of your particular case, check for possible risk factors that may prohibit the use of such medications, and advise you on how to use them and for how long, in addition to providing advice regarding safe sex practice.
