Patient's question:
I and my husband haven't prepared to have children yet, but my husband doesn't like wearing condoms during sex. Last night when we had sex, he lost control and came inside me. Afterward, I quickly took emergency contraception, but I also know that this medication has significant side effects. I'm wondering if it could cause an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Any emergency contraceptive pill contains a large amount of hormones, which is an unavoidable measure when conventional breastfeeding is successful. It may easily lead to endocrine disorders and may disrupt the menstrual cycle or even cause amenorrhea. It is recommended that the number of annual doses should not exceed three. Safe and effective measures such as condoms or intrauterine devices can be used for breastfeeding. There is no specific view that emergency contraception pills will definitely cause ectopic pregnancy! Wishing you health! For severe ectopic pregnancy patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or drugs for treatment to prevent the condition from worsening.
