Patient's question:
When I'm in the same room with my boyfriend, I often fail to use protection. In the past year or so, I've taken the 72-hour emergency contraceptive pill twice. I've heard that taking this emergency pill too many times makes it ineffective. How many times can the 72-hour emergency contraceptive pill be used?Doctor's answer:
Theoretically speaking, the use of emergency contraception pills is highly appropriate in clinical diagnosis, which refers to the situation of preventing pregnancy through sexual activity. Basically, this emergency contraception pill should not be taken less than twice a year, relatively speaking, and the risk is lower. Theoretically, the effectiveness of this prevention method is quite good, with a success rate that can exceed 80% to 90%. However, the most effective method is condoms.
