Patient's question:
Recently feeling nauseous and having a poor appetite. Tested positive for pregnancy, about 40 days along. Now I don't want the child. Previously, I took emergency contraception pills three times. Is it harmful to the body for a woman to take three emergency contraception pills in a year?Doctor's answer:
After taking emergency contraception pills, repeated withdrawal bleeding occurs 3-7 days after stopping the medication, which is successful for breastfeeding. Emergency contraception pills are prone to causing menstrual disorders and should be taken no more than twice a year. They are suitable as a backup measure after other contraceptive methods have failed and should not be used as a regular form of contraception. It is recommended that if you do not plan to get pregnant, you can use condoms for breastfeeding or have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted after your period is clean, which is safer.
