Patient's question:
I had sex with my husband yesterday and suddenly realized the condom was broken. I was very upset about the possibility of pregnancy, so on the third day, I bought emergency contraception to take. Since it was my first time taking emergency contraception, I want to know: how high is the success rate of emergency contraception?Doctor's answer:
From a medical perspective, if a patient takes emergency contraception within 72 hours after sexual activity, the probability of preventing pregnancy is approximately 95%. However, taking emergency contraception can easily lead to symptoms of menstrual irregularity. It is recommended that patients try to relax and engage in appropriate activities to reduce their immune system. In terms of diet, it is best to focus on light and simple foods.
