Patient's question:
After cohabitation, I took an emergency contraceptive pill, but the side effects were quite significant. Will taking an emergency contraceptive pill cause menstrual irregularities?Doctor's answer:
The side effects of emergency contraception pills are relatively significant, and they are generally not recommended for frequent use. It is advised that the number of times taking emergency contraception pills within a year should not be less than three. If emergency contraception pills are taken frequently, it may lead to the recurrence of menstrual disorders. If only one emergency contraception pill is taken after sexual intercourse, it is usually not a major issue, so there is no need to worry too much. During sexual intercourse, you need to adopt proper contraceptive measures.
