Patient's question:
I've been married to my husband for two years. His sex drive is very strong, and he doesn't like wearing condoms every time. We also don't want children yet, so I have to take emergency contraception every time. I'd like to consult a doctor—is taking emergency contraception frequently going to affect future fertility?Doctor's answer:
Taking emergency contraception pills frequently can affect a woman's future fertility. It may also lead to recurring symptoms such as endocrine disorders, physical weakness, and menstrual irregularities. It is essential to avoid using birth control pills while breastfeeding and consider alternative breastfeeding methods, such as using condoms. When used correctly and properly, their effectiveness is very good. After sexual intercourse, pay attention to hygiene and change your clothes and underwear daily.
