Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Is the probability of failure of emergency contraception high?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, emergency contraception is effective if taken within 72 hours, and the chance of pregnancy is also low. However, some may lead to ectopic pregnancy. But the probability is very, very small. Additionally, emergency contraception can cause significant harm to oneself. If taken too frequently, it can affect one's fertility. The worst case is being unable to get pregnant at all. Moreover, if pregnancy occurs, it may be difficult to carry it to term, resulting in habitual miscarriage. Therefore, do not take it frequently.
