Patient's question:
Four or five hours ago, when I had sex with my husband, I didn't use a condom or take any other contraceptive measures. But just now, I confirmed with my husband that my mother-in-law and they are not too eager for a grandson right now, because my husband doesn't have much money to raise a child. They hope we can wait a bit longer, but I've already passed the point of no return. It's been four or five hours, do I need to take emergency contraception?Doctor's answer:
From a time perspective, if it's still recommended to take contraceptive medication during a woman's dangerous period, it's best to actively estimate based on the menstrual cycle. Taking the medication within 72 hours after sexual activity is relatively safe. In daily life, it's advisable to eat small, frequent meals, enhance nutrition, and avoid overtime work. Monitor your appetite and the quality of deep sleep to ensure they are normal. However, it's important to pay attention to hygiene and enhance nutrition. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
