Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I was told I have chronic hepatitis B, and I have been seeking medical treatment everywhere. The doctor gave me special medication for it. But recently I have been so busy that I accidentally mixed up my chronic hepatitis B medication with birth control pills and took emergency birth control pills. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
For those with hepatitis B () who have taken emergency contraception, it is necessary to have liver function tests to check if there are any adverse effects on the liver. People with hepatitis B () are often likely to have poor liver function. Emergency contraception can also harm liver function, so it is advisable to first test liver function to see if the transaminase levels are elevated. If they are not, it is best to wait and see and avoid using unnecessary medications. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
