Patient's question:
I have taken Yasmin emergency contraception once. My friend said it can cause ectopic pregnancy. I feel so sad. Was that really true? You can share your views. Does Yasmin emergency contraception really cause ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Yes. I have friends who have experienced tubal rupture as a result of this, leading to the removal of one fallopian tube. It's not advisable to take birth control pills, but if you only took them two years ago, in general, if you've ever taken any birth control pills, it's not suitable to get pregnant within a year. The reason why it can lead to ectopic pregnancy is that if you take this medication after sexual intercourse during ovulation, there's a high chance that the egg has already been fertilized and has become a fertilized egg. During the process of this fertilized egg traveling to the uterus for implantation, it may get stuck in the fallopian tube due to the effects of the medication, resulting in ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is a condition that is difficult to alleviate. Patients should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset, as only then can they boost their confidence in fighting ectopic pregnancy and believe that they can recover.
