Patient's question:
I don't want to take the pill for now, so every night I need to take a few birth control pills. I want to consult with everyone for a few days about taking the 72-hour birth control pill.Doctor's answer:
For unprotected sex, there is an emergency breast milk feeding, which is what we commonly call emergency contraception. This medication is generally taken orally within 72 hours after sexual intercourse. And the earlier it is taken, the better the effect. If this medication is taken orally, it does not take effect after sexual intercourse. In other words, it only works for sexual intercourse before taking the medication. The 72-hour emergency contraception pill can protect against pregnancy after sexual intercourse, but it does not work after taking the medication again. Repeatedly using the emergency contraception pill can lead to infertility. If breastfeeding is used, a condom can be used for breastfeeding. And I believe this method is harmless to humans and relatively safe.
