Patient's question:
I have had irregular periods and experienced menstrual disorders. When I went to the hospital, I was prescribed progesterone. However, I had sex with my wife yesterday, and I don't want to have a child for now. Can I still take emergency contraception after taking progesterone?Doctor's answer:
Hello, progesterone does not have the effect of breastfeeding. If you are not currently planning to conceive and have had sexual intercourse again, you should consider taking emergency contraception. However, this situation may interfere with your menstrual cycle, causing it to come earlier or later. Therefore, in your case, it is still important to practice safe breastfeeding, such as using condoms, or you could also consider taking short-term birth control pills.
