Best Answer

Yes. All brands of contraceptive pill increase your risk of getting blood clots and certain types of cancer.

Although the risk is very small, if you have already had one of these ailments or you have a family history of these illnesses (for example stroke), it would be unwise to take the contraceptive pill and put yourself more at risk of having these illnesses. Your doctor will be able to advise you on whether it is a safe methode of contraception for you.

Why do doctors need to know if a girl is a virgin or not before being prescribed on birth control?

First, "virginity" is not a medical concept. Second, the choice of birth control doesn't depend on whether a woman has had sex before. Taking a woman's sexual history can help guide any testing that should be done, though.
