Patient's question:
I got pregnant and had a child around January this year. I had an abortion and have taken birth control pills about 6-7 times. I also took vitamin E supplements and calcium pills. My friend doesn't know what to eat to supplement. I'm panicked about taking too many birth control pills and causing problems. Will taking too many birth control pills cause infertility?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception is a "emergency measure" taken after unprotected sex or when it is realized that contraception has failed (condom breakage, leakage, missed birth control pills, etc.) to prevent the occurrence of unintended early pregnancy. Taking it many times can lead to menstrual disorders, irregularity, and even infertility. It is recommended not to take emergency contraception more than twice a month or more than three times a year, otherwise it can easily cause endocrine disorders in women.
