Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am 24 years old this year. I have been with my boyfriend for two years. Sometimes, when we have sex, he forgets to wear a condom. So, afterward, I always have to take emergency contraception pills. That's why I want to ask if emergency contraception pills are harmful to the body?Doctor's answer:
Hello, taking emergency contraception medication frequently can be harmful to the body. It may lead to hormonal imbalances and endocrine disorders, among other issues. You should not take more than three doses of emergency contraception medication within a year. It is recommended to switch to other breastfeeding methods instead of relying on emergency contraception regularly. Maintaining a regular lifestyle, balanced diet, and keeping the external genital area clean are also important.
