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

Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

Once it's not a big problem, it's okay, but if it happens frequently, it's not acceptable. The main mechanism of emergency contraception is to prevent ovulation by disrupting the hormonal balance in the body or to prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg to achieve post-coital contraception. Therefore, taking emergency contraception can easily cause menstrual cycle disorders. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception will have some impact on women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to health care and maintenance. Patients using contraception should pay attention to self-care, such as dietary regulation and maintaining warmth to avoid catching a cold.
