Patient's question:
My university classmate is 26 years old this year. Recently, she said she was about to have her period, but it never came. I asked her why, and she told me. She had taken emergency contraception once. She didn't know if her lack of menstruation was because of this. Does taking emergency contraception once affect pregnancy or amenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
The ease of experiencing withdrawal bleeding is what determines the likelihood of taking emergency contraception again. Taking the pill can make it more difficult to get pregnant again, or it may even stop menstruation, although this incidence rate is very low. It is better to choose condoms in the future, as they are safe, effective, and have no side effects, whereas the pill will definitely have side effects. If you do not plan to have children, you can also engage in sexual activity during the safe period.
