Patient's question:
My aunt had a history of two ectopic pregnancies. I remember it clearly back then, it was quite disturbing. My boyfriend and I have always used condoms while breastfeeding. Sometimes, if we forget to use one, we take emergency contraception pills afterward. But my friend said that taking too many of these emergency pills can lead to ectopic pregnancies. I just wanted to ask if that's true.Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy is not related to taking emergency contraception pills. Clinically, there has been no significant increase in ectopic pregnancies diagnosed as a result of taking these pills. Ectopic pregnancy is not uncommon in clinical diagnosis, but the most common factor is tubal issues. Experts say that the most common side effect of taking emergency contraception pills is menstrual irregularities and the exacerbation of some gynecological inflammation. Ectopic pregnancy is a disease that is difficult to recover from. Friends who are patients should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in fighting ectopic pregnancy and believe that they will surely recover.
