Patient's question:
I and my boyfriend are both young. A few days ago, we had sex. My period has been unstable recently, and I'm very afraid of getting pregnant. Please ask me if I will still get pregnant if I take birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills are effective in preventing pregnancy if taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse. In your case, you will absolutely not get pregnant. It is recommended that you do not worry, as you will not get pregnant, but emergency contraception pills should not be taken long-term, as they can easily lead to menstrual irregularities and affect future fertility. However, they will not cause infertility. When facing gynecological problems, patients should actively take treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If gynecological issues persist despite treatment, it is important to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
