Patient's question:
Will emergency contraception cause amenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Emergency contraception pills are used as an emergency backup measure for unprotected sex or after successful breastfeeding to prevent an unplanned pregnancy from occurring again. Emergency contraception pills should not be used as a regular form of contraception, as they can easily cause irregularities in the menstrual cycle, period duration, and menstrual flow, and may even lead to the possibility of amenorrhea. Some people may also experience side effects such as nausea and dizziness, so it is best to avoid or minimize their use. It is recommended that you use condoms to prevent breastfeeding.
