Patient's question:
I have a friend who took emergency contraception and wants to consult when it can be completely metabolized from the body.Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception refers to a type of contraceptive medication taken without protection during sexual activity or within a certain period after successful contraception to prevent early pregnancy. Contraceptive pills are one of the most commonly used methods. The decomposition and metabolism of emergency contraception in the body are usually relatively slow. Generally, drinking more water after taking oral medication can enhance metabolism. Emergency contraception is usually metabolized and eliminated from the body within the same month of use and does not remain in the body for too long. In daily life, it is still advisable to take emergency contraception less frequently, as it can easily lead to menstrual disorders. Menstrual cycles should not exceed two months without a period, and it should not be taken more than three times a year, otherwise it will cause significant harm to our bodies.
