Patient's question:
The night I shared a room with my boyfriend, it had been about 12 days since my last menstrual period ended. I didn't remind my boyfriend to be careful and didn't take any safety measures. After it was over, I realized it was the dangerous period and that it was easy to get pregnant, so I had to take the pill afterward. What are the post-coital birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills are already 72-hour emergency pills. Clinically, the most commonly used ones are levonorgestrel tablets, and similar products. They are available for sale in local pharmacies. You can buy them yourself from the pharmacy. Taking them within 72 hours after sexual intercourse can provide some contraceptive effects. However, after taking them, you may experience side effects such as menstrual disorders, withdrawal bleeding, dizziness, nausea, etc. You should also be mentally prepared for this.
