Patient's question:
How to take emergency contraception most safelyDoctor's answer:
Hello, emergency contraception has a strong time limit. It should be taken within 72 hours after contraceptive failure or unprotected intercourse. The earlier you take it, the better the effect in preventing unintended pregnancy. Generally, emergency contraception should only be taken once a month and no more than three times a year. If taken excessively, it can affect the efficacy of the medication, disrupt menstrual cycles, and in severe cases, lead to infertility. It is recommended that you adopt other contraceptive measures and avoid frequent use of emergency contraception.
