What are the side effects after taking emergency contraception pills?

Patient's question:

What are the side effects after taking emergency contraception pills? Will there be another period of amenorrhea? Are there any other symptoms?

Doctor's answer:

Emergency contraception pills contain a high dose of progesterone, and common side effects include gastrointestinal problems, such as nausea and vomiting. In addition to menstrual cycle changes that may cause irregular periods, they generally do not cause amenorrhea. It is recommended to maintain a calm mood, balance nutrition, and adopt effective contraception measures in future. The side effects of emergency contraception pills are significant, and they are only a post-coital remedy for breastfeeding. They cannot be used for regular breastfeeding.
