Patient's question:
Yesterday, I had sex with my husband and forgot to use contraception. It happened to be internal ejaculation as well. Since we already have two children and don't plan to have more, I thought about taking emergency contraception. However, I don't know if it will be effective. Hello doctor, how often can I take emergency contraception? What are the side effects?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, it is generally not advisable to use emergency contraception less than three times within a year, as it can have a significant impact on your health. It's important to avoid stress, and it's recommended to eat more warming foods and have smaller, more frequent meals for better safety. There may be a risk of menstrual disorders and irregular bleeding. Additionally, for future sexual activity, other forms of contraception should be used, and hygiene should be paid close attention to.
