Did I have an emergency contraceptive pill 2 times this year, is there a problem?

Patient's question:

My girlfriend has taken emergency contraception twice this year, and she took it again a few days ago. Will this affect her health?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the post-coital pill is a hormone and cannot be used as a regular method of contraception. It should not be taken excessively, as doing so can disrupt the body's normal hormone secretion, leading to side effects such as menstrual disorders. In fact, there are many methods of contraception, and it's worth learning more about them. Caring for women starts with contraception. In general, practicing any form of contraception can cause some harm to the body. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Contraceptive users should take care of themselves, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
