Patient's question:
Now that she is pregnant, why was she successful even after taking emergency contraception pills? What are the reasons for her success in taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
The pregnancy rate after taking emergency contraceptive pills can be reduced to 1.4%. It is not a possibility of not getting pregnant. This high failure rate is mainly due to improper use. Breastfeeding after taking emergency medication cannot be used for unprotected sex. It is recommended to drink lightly, rest, pay attention to personal hygiene, and maintain clean external genitalia while exercising moderately. Emergency contraceptive pills are usually taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse, and the earlier they are taken, the more effective they are. It is highly unlikely to get pregnant.
