Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Is mifepristone a birth control pill?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, Mifepristone tablets are emergency contraceptives, which can be used for emergency contraception and are effective within 72 hours after intercourse. For emergency contraception, you can also take a drug containing levonorgestrel, such as Yu Ting. The intrauterine device (IUD) has less systemic interference, acts locally, and does not affect fertility after removal. It has the advantages of being safe, effective, reversible, simple, and economical, making it one of the most commonly used contraceptive methods.
