Patient's question:
Hello, I'd like to ask, if you don't use protection during sexual activity and take the emergency contraceptive pill afterward, is that okay?Doctor's answer:
If you are in the dangerous period, you can take emergency contraception within 72 hours after the event. If you do not plan to get pregnant, you need to take safety contraceptive measures to prevent accidental pregnancy. Emergency contraception pills cannot be taken casually, as they can easily disrupt the menstrual cycle. They are suitable as a supplementary measure after other contraceptive methods fail and cannot be used as a regular contraceptive pill. You can take it at most twice a year. After stopping the medication, if you experience withdrawal bleeding within 3 to 7 days, this indicates successful contraception.
