Does taking emergency contraception prevent ovulation?

Patient's question:

Recently diagnosed with this disease at the hospital, does taking emergency contraception prevent ovulation?

Doctor's answer:

Emergency contraception pills do not prevent menopause. If you have menopause during ovulation and have sex, taking emergency contraception pills will inhibit the combination of sperm and eggs, preventing them from forming a fertilized egg. This can help with breastfeeding. Emergency contraception pills need to be taken within 72 hours after intercourse. You should be fasting before taking the pills, and you cannot eat anything within two hours after taking them.
