Patient's question:
I came last month on the 27th, and this month I finished on the 1st. On the 13th and 14th of this month, I had sex on the 14th at noon and took emergency contraception. Today at noon, I didn't use protection again, so I had sex again. I want to consult because I have taken emergency contraception many times. Is it effective to take emergency contraception many times?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills are only effective for breastfeeding against the last sexual activity; they do not have the breastfeeding effect for future sexual activities. Under normal circumstances, taking one dose of emergency contraception only has some breastfeeding effect for one unprotected sexual encounter. Therefore, taking one emergency contraception pill after multiple sexual encounters does not necessarily achieve the breastfeeding effect. It is also recommended to use timely contraception, which can also achieve the effect of emergency breastfeeding.
