Patient's question:
If a woman takes too many emergency contraceptive pills, can she not get pregnant anymore? If she really can't have children anymore, can this condition be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, emergency contraception pills are not regular birth control pills. Generally, you should take them at most three times within a year and at most once within a month. Overuse will inevitably affect the normal secretion of hormones in the body, leading to endocrine disorders, menstrual irregularities, and even long-term effects on future fertility. Therefore, emergency contraception pills should be taken as little as possible or not at all.Additionally, folic acid should be supplemented three months before pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus.
