Does emergency contraception prevent implantation?

Patient's question:

The day before yesterday, I vaguely remember taking birth control pills, and now I am taking emergency contraception pills. Hello, do emergency contraception pills prevent implantation?

Doctor's answer:

According to the symptoms you described, emergency contraception is a commonly used medication in clinical diagnosis. It is primarily used in gynecology or obstetric clinical settings. Generally, emergency contraception should be taken within 72 hours. After taking emergency contraception, if the egg and sperm combine, under normal circumstances, the medication will prevent the egg and sperm from combining, achieving the effect of preventing pregnancy.
