How great are the side effects of the body after taking one birth control pill?

Patient's question:

I have been dating my boyfriend for over a year, and we are in a long-distance relationship. The last time he visited me, we had sex before he left, but we didn't use any protection. Afterward, I felt extremely regretful and even bought emergency contraception pills from a pharmacy. I've heard that emergency contraception pills can be harmful to your health. I want to know how significant the side effects of taking one pill can be?

Doctor's answer:

If you only take it once, it should not have much impact on health, but pay more attention to rest and sexual hygiene, etc. It is recommended to check after taking the medication to see if there is any irregular peeling. For future sexual activity, it is advisable to use other methods such as condoms. If you repeatedly take contraceptive medication, it still has a relatively significant impact on women's health. Pay more attention to rest. The above can be used as a reference.
