Patient's question:
Having sex with your girlfriend, I took a levonorgestrel pill. I heard from others that taking this medication can cause ectopic pregnancy. I want to consult if levonorgestrel pills can cause ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Levonorgestrel tablets may occasionally cause ectopic pregnancy. Emergency contraception can also lead to a rare recurrence of ectopic pregnancy, although it is relatively uncommon in clinical diagnosis. If you do not want to get pregnant, the best way is to use condoms during intercourse. If you have already had intercourse and do not want to get pregnant, you may have to take emergency contraception, which could potentially lead to a recurrence. The side effects are not severe, but the probability is not high. You need to endure it and carefully observe the next menstrual cycle. If your period comes, it means that ectopic pregnancy has not occurred again.
