Does this state of affairs, where I drink a lot and urinate more often, affect the effectiveness of combined contraceptive pills?

Good morning. Maybe it's a stupid question, but I'm curious. I've started the heating season at home, because of the dry air and warmth I drink a lot of still water, which means that I need to use the toilet more often. Will this state of affairs, where I drink a lot and urinate more often, have any impact on the effectiveness of combined contraceptive pills? Best regards.

No, increased water intake (and therefore urination) will not affect the effectiveness of hormonal contraception.

In case of any doubts, I encourage you to use the teleconsultation with a gynaecologist - the service is available on our website in the e-visit tab:
