Does taking emergency contraception twice during the menstrual cycle have any effects?

Patient's question:

I have come twice. On July 13th, due to a broken condom, I took another birth control pill just in case. I don't know what effect it will have on my body, and I really want to consult. Will it cause menstrual disorders? What kind of help I need: When will my next period come? Will it be affected?

Doctor's answer:

Emergency contraception refers to a breastfeeding method taken after unprotected sex or a certain period of time after successful breastfeeding to prevent early pregnancy. It is effective within 72 hours after intercourse and contains hormonal drugs, which can easily lead to the recurrence of endocrine disorders and menstrual irregularities. A menstrual cycle occurs once a month, and long-term oral contraceptive use can easily cause menstrual disorders or even infertility. You should pay more attention to it in the future.
