Patient's question:
After taking emergency contraception, menstruation comes early with less amount and is black. I have taken the emergency contraception about five or six times in a year. Will it interfere with getting pregnant later?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills should not be used more than three times within a year. If used excessively, they can cause lower back pain, abdominal discomfort, delayed menstruation with reduced flow, spotting, excessive obesity, infertility, menstrual irregularities, and it is recommended to stop using them. Condoms or intrauterine devices are more effective for contraception. Additionally, personal hygiene should be paid attention to regularly to avoid infections.
