Does emergency contraception cause infertility?

Patient's question:

Taking Yuting twice orally can lead to infertility or ectopic pregnancy. Does emergency contraception cause infertility?

Doctor's answer:

Emergency contraception pills are primarily composed of a combination of high-dose estrogen and progestogen and cannot be used as routine birth control. There is a higher likelihood of inducing endocrine disorders, but your situation should not lead to infertility. This situation does not require excessive examination. Given your young age, it is not advisable to engage in sexual activity in the future. If it is unavoidable, it is recommended to use safe and effective contraception measures to protect yourself. For patients, if gynecological conditions are severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to recurrent gynecological issues. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid exacerbating the condition. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
