Patient's question:
Previously, when my husband and I were not planning to have children, we didn't take any safety measures during intimacy, just taking two birth control pills each time. We've taken quite a few birth control pills over the years. Now we want to have a child, but we've been trying hard. Could you please consult a doctor: Do emergency birth control pills cause infertility?Doctor's answer:
Taking emergency contraception pills frequently may potentially lead to female infertility, as these pills are a type of hormone medication that can affect a woman's endocrine status, leading to menstrual cycle disorders. In cases of menstrual cycle disorders, there is often ovulation dysfunction, and if immature eggs are not released, fertilized eggs cannot be formed. Therefore, it is recommended to first adjust the body before attempting to conceive.
