Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant accidentally? The harm is relatively small. Should I take birth control pills before or after the event?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills should be taken after intercourse. It is recommended to take Yuting orally. You can take Yuting for emergency contraception within 72 hours after the event. Take the second pill 12 hours later. If vomiting occurs within 2 hours of taking Yuting, take another dose. The chance of pregnancy can be reduced to 1.5% after taking the medication. Emergency contraception pills should not be used as regular birth control. They are effective within 72 hours after intercourse. If sexual activity occurs during the medication period, the time needs to be recalculated.
