Patient's question:
When I have sex with my boyfriend, I always take the post-coital contraceptive pill. It is said that taking this pill for a long time can have significant side effects. Will taking emergency contraception pills cause infertility?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills cannot replace regular breastfeeding and should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor. The side effects of emergency contraception pills mainly include nausea, vomiting, and menstrual disorders. However, if taken blindly and in large quantities for a long time, the consequences can be extremely severe. Emergency contraception pills contain high doses of progesterone, and long-term use can suppress menopause, cause weight gain in women, and increase the risk of blood clots and migraines. Experts say, "Frequent use can also lead to impaired ovarian function, and it is recommended that women take it no more than three times a year."In addition, during the treatment of ectopic pregnancy, in addition to immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also particularly important. Patients must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery from ectopic pregnancy.
