Is it harmful to the body to take birth control pills?

Patient's question:

I'd like to ask, on October 3rd, we had sex and the condom broke. Just in case, I took one dose of birth control pill and one tablet of norethisterone. On October 27th, the condom broke again, and I took another dose. Will this do any harm to my body?

Doctor's answer:

Emergency contraception pills can easily cause menstrual disorders. Currently, in this situation, you can wait and see without medication. It is generally possible to gradually return to normal. It is recommended to take safe contraceptive measures if you do not plan to get pregnant. Emergency contraception pills should not be taken casually, as they can easily disrupt menstruation and should only be taken a maximum of twice a year. Avoid overworking and maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you are overweight, consider reducing your food intake, as excessive obesity can affect ovarian function.
