Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. What kind of birth control pill should I take after the incident?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills, such as Yuting, have a high success rate in preventing pregnancy, but they cannot guarantee 100% success. They can significantly reduce the chances of an unintended pregnancy. Generally, they should be taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse.Hello, bleeding after taking the pill is due to a temporary increase in hormone levels in the blood caused by the medication. Once the hormone levels drop, withdrawal bleeding occurs. Since everyone's tolerance to the medication varies, the amount and duration of bleeding differ. If the bleeding amount and duration are the same as a normal menstrual period, it can be considered as one menstrual cycle.
The main side effect of emergency contraception pills is disrupting the menstrual cycle. Sometimes, it may lead to having two menstrual periods in a month.
