Patient's question:
Last month, I had sex with my boyfriend twice without using any protection. I'm only 18 and was worried about getting pregnant, so I took emergency contraception pills. My friend told me that taking too many emergency contraception pills can be harmful to your body and can disrupt your endocrine system. I took two emergency contraception pills within half a month. What can I do to solve this problem? Can I go to the hospital to see a doctor for advice on how to take care of my body?Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, emergency contraception pills should not be taken more than twice a year. For your current condition, it is recommended to rest recently and pay attention to maintaining good lifestyle and dietary habits. You can also consider traditional Chinese medicine for (regulating health). Finally, wish you a speedy recovery.
