Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Can the 72-hour emergency contraceptive pill really prevent pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills are used for unprotected sex and should be taken within 72 hours. The earlier, the better. The effectiveness of breastfeeding is over 98%, but there is a slight chance of success in about 1% of cases. This medication has side effects and should not be taken more than twice a month or more than three times a year. Taking it excessively can lead to menstrual disorders, such as delayed periods or repeated withdrawal bleeding. This medication has certain side effects and should not be used frequently, as it may cause irregular vaginal bleeding and menstrual irregularities.
