Patient's question:
I had sex with my husband last month and discovered that the condom broke. At the time, there was no emergency contraception at home, and I didn't take it until the third day. But now, I'm pregnant this month. Will taking emergency contraception affect the child?Doctor's answer:
There will be some impact, as the medication can affect the fertilized egg. The specific impact needs to be thoroughly examined by a hospital to fully confirm how severe it is. Generally, the impact is not significant. When engaging in sexual activity, it is necessary to take necessary safety measures. If a condom breaks, medication should be used promptly for breastfeeding. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
