Patient's question:
Since my boyfriend doesn't like using condoms, after having sex during the non-safe period, I always take emergency contraception pills to continue breastfeeding. At first, it didn't feel like anything, but after doing it multiple times, the phenomenon of menstrual irregularity reappeared. I wonder if birth control pills can cause endocrine disorders?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills, under normal circumstances, can be taken a maximum of twice a month and should not be used repeatedly. We understand that the dosage of emergency contraception pills is significantly lower than that of conventional birth control medications, which means there is a higher likelihood of negative effects on a woman's body. In addition to timely medical treatment for gynecological conditions, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure good therapeutic outcomes.
