Patient's question:
I ate contraception after cohabitation yesterday and wanted to ask what happens when you take birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception is a "emergency breastfeeding" measure taken in cases of unprotected sex or when contraceptive methods fail, such as condom breakage, leakage, or missed birth control pills, to prevent pregnancy. After taking emergency contraception, it can inhibit the secretion of cervical mucus, thereby obstructing sperm from penetrating the uterine cavity. Emergency contraception has certain side effects and should not be taken more than three times a year.
