Patient's question:
I have a baby who is five years old now. I haven't planned for a second child for the time being, so I have to take birth control pills earlier each time my husband goes to work. Today, I forgot to take it and had to take emergency contraception orally. I'm very worried, so I'm consulting here about the menstrual issues after taking emergency contraception orally?Doctor's answer:
Going forward, it's important to be more cautious and avoid taking emergency contraceptive pills lightly, as this can help prevent irregular menstruation from occurring again. This is extremely harmful to women's physical health. Emergency contraceptive pills can cause harm to both the body and mind of women, easily leading to irregular menstruation and affecting future fertility. This issue needs to be addressed properly—please do not take them blindly. Of course, occasionally taking them once is not a major problem. If you do not wish to have a second child, you might consider getting an intrauterine device (IUD) or using subdermal implant contraception.
