Patient's question:
A while ago, my best friend told me she took emergency contraception pills, but I didn't know what they were, so I wanted to ask a few questions. What are emergency contraception pills?Doctor's answer:
Emergency breastfeeding refers to a method of breastfeeding used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or a period of successful breastfeeding. Drug-induced breastfeeding is the most common method. Taking emergency contraception within 72 hours after intercourse is effective. If you have sexual activity again while taking the medication, you should recalculate the time. After excluding pregnancy, healthy women of childbearing age should use it within 72-120 hours after intercourse. The earlier they take it, the better the effect. The failure rate is usually higher after 72 hours. It is recommended to take it no less than 3 times a year, otherwise it may lead to habitual abortion. We must pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness to prevent infection and breastfeeding.
