Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle is one week. It just ended. I had sexual intercourse on the second and third nights without breastfeeding. Today is the fourth day. I plan to get an IUD tomorrow. I just took emergency contraception tonight. Is it effective?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have concerns about the situation after taking emergency contraception. In fact, if you have this situation, the protective effect is valid as long as the time now is within 72 hours. You can decide to adjust your mindset and view it calmly. Of course, before getting an IUD, it is still strictly prohibited to have sexual activity for 3 days. Currently, you are not suitable for it.Additionally, in daily life, patients should balance their nutritional intake, engage in more aerobic exercises to stay fit, and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
