Patient's question:
Does taking emergency contraception affect fertility? I want to tell my doctor about my situation and find out if there's a possibility of getting pregnant, and whether it's necessary to take emergency contraception.Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills contain high doses of progesterone, and taking them may cause certain side effects: second, it may lead to nausea, vomiting, and other gastrointestinal adverse reactions; third, it may disrupt menstrual cycles. Therefore, it is not recommended for women to take emergency contraception pills frequently, especially repeatedly within the same menstrual cycle, as the side effects may worsen and could even affect successful breastfeeding. Lastly, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
