Patient's question:
I have taken emergency contraception pills 11 times a year, averaging twice a month. Will this seriously affect my physical health? I know taking birth control pills is not good, but there's no other choice. I want to know if taking them this frequently will affect my future fertility.Doctor's answer:
The side effects of contraceptive drugs are very significant. Taking emergency contraceptive pills frequently throughout the year is quite harmful to your body. Since emergency contraceptives are hormone-based medications, frequent use may lead to menstrual disorders and affect future fertility. It is strongly recommended that you pay close attention and avoid taking emergency contraceptive pills too often. To prevent unintended pregnancies during sexual activity, it is advisable to use condoms. Breastfeeding is safe, reliable, and has no side effects. Wishing you good health!
