Patient's question:
Wife had her first sexual intercourse after giving birth to the baby, quite excited. She thought she would never get pregnant during breastfeeding and didn't use any contraception. Later, she found out that breastfeeding is also unsafe after researching. The wife asked to buy emergency contraception pills immediately. Since she had always taken precautions before, this was her first time taking oral emergency contraception pills. What should be noted when taking oral emergency contraception pills for the first time?Doctor's answer:
The first time taking emergency oral contraception, it is important to take it as soon as possible after intercourse. Also, the number of times emergency contraception should be taken in a month should not be less than once, and the number of times taken in a year should not be less than three. It is still necessary to take other contraceptive measures. It is recommended that you relax your mood, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, pay attention to hygiene in the vaginal area, and change underwear and underpants frequently to avoid transmitting gynecological diseases.
