If taking emergency contraception cause ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

It is said that my friend's girlfriend has an ectopic pregnancy and needs to have surgery immediately. Here, I would like to ask the experts, after taking emergency contraception, can one still get an ectopic pregnancy? I am also very upset that my friend's girlfriend has an ectopic pregnancy. What kind of medicine should be taken in this situation? What should be paid attention to in daily diet?

Doctor's answer:

If used properly, it is extremely safe, as it can prevent infectious diseases while also not affecting the child's growth and development or health in cases of condom rupture or successful breastfeeding. This requires the man to fully agree and cooperate. If some women are allergic to latex, they should not use condoms. Additionally, they should be in good health without liver, kidney diseases, reproductive system tumors, endocrine diseases, and be able to make long-term decisions regarding family planning. They should also correctly determine their preferred breastfeeding methods.
In addition to timely treatment for ectopic pregnancy, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating light meals and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, they should choose a top-tier hospital for treatment to ensure good therapeutic effects.
