Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Can I take birth control pills while breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
No, emergency contraception pills are hormone-based medications, and taking too many can have significant side effects. Their adverse reactions may include symptoms similar to early pregnancy, vaginal bleeding, reduced menstrual flow or amenorrhea, endocrine disorders, weight gain, facial hyperpigmentation, infertility, or gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, weight gain, nervousness, low mood, skin spots and acne, etc. Emergency contraception pills should not be used more than three times within a year, and only once per month.
