Can you take emergency contraception for a month?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Can I take emergency contraception for a month?

Doctor's answer:

The use of emergency contraception should not exceed twice a month. Frequent use may lead to menstrual disorders. Although frequent use is not good, it is less harmful than miscarriage if pregnancy occurs. In such cases, emergency contraception can only be used afterward. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception will have some impact on the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. For those using contraception, self-care should be noted, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
