Patient's question:
Medical history and effectiveness: Took long-acting birth control pills for 4 months, but got pregnant in the fourth month. What's going on? Can I still use them for contraception in the future?Doctor's answer:
Contraceptives merely disrupt the release of eggs and prevent the combination of sperm and eggs. Advice: Therefore, they are not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. Generally, condoms are recommended as a better contraceptive method, as they are unlikely to cause pregnancy as long as they are not broken. For patients, if the ectopic pregnancy condition is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of ectopic pregnancy. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
