Patient's question:
Accidentally ate the birth control pills from my sister's purse thinking they were candy... She had opened the packaging so I didn't realize they were birth control pills. I had never taken birth control pills before. After eating them, I went shopping and took a hot spring bath as usual, and there were no further adverse reactions. My sister asked me why the items were missing from her purse, and then I realized they were birth control pills... I want to ask what side effects they might have, are the side effects severe, and can I still have children in the future?? I searched online and found that it might cause skin breakdown, but I didn't have any, so what's going on??Doctor's answer:
No need to worry. Although emergency contraception pills have significant side effects, taking them occasionally causes minimal interference. They will not lead to infertility. After taking emergency contraception pills, withdrawal bleeding may or may not occur again, and both are normal.Advice: Always maintain a calm mood, and in the future, be careful not to take them again. Not experiencing withdrawal bleeding again is also normal.
The above advice is for the question "accidentally ate the emergency contraception pills from my sister's purse thinking they were candy." I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
