Patient's question:
My partner and I work in different places, so we only see each other once a month. Sometimes I take emergency contraception pills. I would like to ask what effects this has on my health if I take it once every two months, and what impact it will have on future fertility?I hope you can give me some guidance. Thank you very much!!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the estrogen level in emergency contraception pills is very high. The dosage of one emergency pill is equivalent to 8 days of regular short-term oral contraceptive pills. Excessive intake can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, menstrual cycle disorders, ovarian suppression, and other phenomena. In fact, under normal circumstances, any form of contraception can have some impact on the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Contraceptive patients should pay attention to self-care, such as a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
