Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. How long can taking emergency contraception pills be effective?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Emergency contraception only works for sexual activity within 72 hours before taking the medication, and the earlier it is taken, the better the effect. Moreover, emergency contraception only works for the current unprotected sexual activity. Even after taking medication in this cycle, other reliable contraceptive measures should still be used during sexual activity. If not careful, pregnancy may occur during the month of medication.In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception can have some impact on the individual. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. For those using contraception, self-care is important, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
