Patient's question:
I just got married recently, and now my career is also just starting. I have agreed with my husband to enjoy our two-person world for the first two years, so we haven't been ready to have children yet. Therefore, I have been taking emergency contraception pills. But this month, I haven't had my period, and I haven't been hungry recently. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, the doctor said I am two months pregnant. Hello, can pregnancy occur after taking emergency contraception pills, and will it affect the child?Doctor's answer:
After taking emergency contraception medication and accidentally becoming pregnant, it is advisable to promptly visit the hospital's obstetrics department for a check-up. If the fetal growth and development are normal, the pregnancy can be temporarily preserved. Emergency contraception medication contains hormone-based drugs, and after oral intake, it can easily lead to changes in the body's hormone excretion, potentially causing poor fetal development. Throughout the entire pregnancy, it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor for various detailed examinations to rule out any abnormalities.
