Patient's question:
I feel particularly uncomfortable, and this situation has been going on for a long time. Could you please tell me the difference between emergency contraception and regular birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, it is still necessary to choose the specific type of birth control pill based on your individual circumstances. Emergency contraception needs to be taken within 72 hours after the event for effective contraception. However, it has significant side effects and is generally not recommended for long-term or frequent use. Ordinary birth control pills are short-acting pills, which need to be taken continuously for 21 days in a month to achieve contraceptive effects.
