Does the birth control pill prevent pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I took the birth control pill on September 1st, had external ejaculation on September 7th, and experienced recurring withdrawal bleeding from September 13th. On October 12th, I had a cervical erosion membrane application. On October 14th, blood and urine tests confirmed I wasn't pregnant. I bled for 6 days on October 15th—is it my period? How many days of bleeding is typical after a cervical erosion membrane application, and is the amount similar? Will I never get pregnant if I avoid sex in the future? Is bleeding 11 days after taking the birth control pill considered one menstrual cycle? On September 7th, I had external ejaculation, and blood and urine tests on October 14th confirmed I wasn't pregnant. If my period doesn't come, could it be possible that I'm pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Recurrent vaginal bleeding after taking emergency contraception may cause withdrawal bleeding. Additionally, cervical patching may lead to cervical epithelial shedding and bleeding. To ensure successful contraception, you can have a blood hCG test 9 days after intercourse or a urine test 2 weeks after intercourse. After the cervical erosion is cured, it is important to use contraception during intercourse and avoid taking emergency contraception casually to prevent menstrual disorders.
