Patient's question:
After giving birth, I didn't go to the hospital to get a coil. Every time I had sex, I took levonorgestrel tablets while breastfeeding. Recently, I've been experiencing breast tenderness, especially before my period when the pain is severe. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with breast hyperplasia. Now I'm taking Rupixiao. Last night, I had sex again and took levonorgestrel tablets. I'm not sure if it's safe to take levonorgestrel tablets with breast hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
For those with breast hyperplasia, it is generally not recommended to take levonorgestrel tablets. Levonorgestrel tablets function as emergency contraception and can severely disrupt endocrine hormone levels, leading to menstrual irregularities and exacerbating breast hyperplasia. Taking it occasionally results in relatively minor side effects, but it should not be taken frequently, as it may worsen breast hyperplasia and affect future fertility.
