Patient's question:
I have taken emergency contraception twice, once in October 2017 and once at the end of March 2018. Will this affect future pregnancies? Will it cause ectopic pregnancy or other issues?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills are high-dose progesterone preparations, and taking them may potentially lead to endocrine disorders and menstrual abnormalities. Taking emergency contraception pills once a year is generally not a major issue. Taking emergency contraception pills usually does not cause ectopic pregnancy. In addition to medication for ectopic pregnancy, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
