Patient's question:
How long after taking emergency contraception can you get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills are usually taken after sexual intercourse, within 72 hours, and they are effective in preventing pregnancy. If you have sexual activity beyond 72 hours, the possibility of pregnancy is relatively high. It is recommended to visit a hospital to use an intrauterine device (IUD) for contraception, which is a more appropriate method. Emergency contraception pills are a temporary emergency measure for birth control. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
