Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Do birth control pills conflict with traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Contraceptives and traditional Chinese medicine are not controversial. Generally, the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are relatively minor, and their effectiveness takes longer to manifest. Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine used to treat digestive disorders primarily focuses on nurturing the stomach, which has no relation to contraceptives. Emergency contraceptives should be taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse for the best effect. It is recommended to take the two types of medications at different times to prevent interference with their efficacy. Increasing regular exercise can enhance the patient's immunity and help prevent recurrence of the condition.
