After cohabitation, if you take birth control pills the next day and have sex again, do you still need to take medication?

Patient's question:

Last night after cohabitation, I took a birth control pill this morning, and then had cohabitation again tonight without taking any measures. Do I need to take another pill?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, emergency contraception pills only have a breastfeeding effect on sexual activity before taking the medication. If there is sexual activity after taking the pill without taking any protective measures, there is no breastfeeding effect. If you are in your menstrual phase, there is a possibility of pregnancy. From this point, it is necessary to take emergency contraception pills. Emergency contraception pills cannot be taken frequently; they should not exceed three times a year, with each dose separated by more than three months, otherwise it can easily cause menstrual disorders or even infertility.
