Patient's question:
I'm used to eating Yuting after love. But recent reports say this might lead to ectopic pregnancy! Now I don't know what to do! Can birth control pills cause ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
1. The recurrence of ectopic pregnancy is unrelated to emergency contraception pills. However, emergency contraception pills should absolutely not be used casually.2. After taking emergency contraception pills, irregular vaginal bleeding may occur, which is caused by the shedding of the endometrium and is known as "withdrawal bleeding." Although the endometrium sheds, it does not affect ovary menopause, so you will still experience menopause. It is crucial not to mistake this bleeding for a menstrual period, or even consider the days after bleeding as a safe period—this would be a major mistake. Sexual intercourse should not be unprotected after taking emergency contraception pills.
3. Emergency contraception pills are a last resort when breastfeeding is successful and should absolutely not be used indiscriminately, as this can disrupt the menstrual cycle and, in severe cases, lead to infertility. For normal women, emergency contraception pills should only be used once per menstrual cycle and no more than three times per year, with at least two months between each use.
