Patient's question:
Doctor, I don't want children yet, but during the last two times I had sex with my boyfriend, he forgot to wear a condom. I had to take emergency contraception, so can I take it twice in 10 days? Will it cause significant harm to my body?Doctor's answer:
Currently, emergency contraception pills on the market are primarily based on estrogen and progesterone formulations. The dosage of hormones is safe, and occasionally taking one or two doses will never have a significant impact on the body. Generally, it may cause gastrointestinal irritation reactions such as nausea and vomiting again, and may also lead to disruption of the menstrual cycle. However, the menstrual cycle usually returns to normal after a few months. It is important to maintain a good mood in daily life.
