Patient's question:
Tomorrow I will have sex with my boyfriend. He said he will never use a condom, so I want to consult a doctor. Will taking emergency contraception early be effective? Is it necessary to take it after sex for it to be effective? I'm very anxious because this is my first time. Is there a solution?Doctor's answer:
Take orally before sexual activity. Taking emergency contraception pills orally is generally effective, but it must be taken within 72 hours. However, emergency contraception pills are usually taken after sexual activity for better effectiveness. If taken before emergency oral administration, it is essential to take it under the guidance of a local doctor to treat inflammation and ensure successful breastfeeding during sexual activity.
