How should pregnancy be treated after taking emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

Doctor, now I have carefully checked that I am pregnant. I have already taken birth control pills, so what should I do if I get pregnant after taking emergency contraception?

Doctor's answer:

After taking emergency contraception, it is still risky to get pregnant unexpectedly, so it is better to make a careful decision based on your own situation. It may lead to abdominal pain or increase the possibility of threatened miscarriage. If you are not planning to get pregnant, you can also consider an abortion. However, after an abortion, you need to take preventive measures against intrauterine infection. Alternatively, it is recommended to actively breastfeed during the next sexual activity.
