Patient's question:
Hello, could you please take a look at my situation? Since getting married, I have been taking Mafurolon for contraception. On the 23rd of this month, I had sexual intercourse with my husband. I took the medication on time and in the correct dosage on the 24th and 25th, and also on the 23rd. However, I forgot to take the medication for the next few days, specifically on the 26th, 27th, and 28th.Does missing these doses of medication increase the risk of pregnancy?
First follow-up question: Hello, is there any way to remedy this situation? Based on my current circumstances, I am considering terminating the pregnancy.
Doctor's answer:
Whether you are pregnant, you can wait for your period to be delayed by five to seven days and use a pregnancy test kit to find out if you are pregnant. Alternatively, you can wait for one week after intercourse and have a blood test at the hospital. If you are pregnant, it can be detected quickly from the blood, with a very high accuracy rate.Contraceptives are synthetic hormones that can cause irregular vaginal bleeding, menstrual disorders, and amenorrhea, which may affect future normal pregnancy. It is best to avoid taking too many birth control pills to prevent amenorrhea. If you do not want a child, you can use condoms for contraception or have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted, both of which are good choices.
