Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant? The harm is relatively small. When should I take birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills are effective if taken within 72 hours after intercourse, but it varies from person to person. Additionally, taking these pills can have certain side effects on the body, such as disrupting hormone levels, which may lead to irregular menstruation. Taking emergency contraception pills within 24 hours after sexual activity can help avoid pregnancy, but it is not absolute. You can wait and see if your next menstrual period arrives on time, and if not, you can use a pregnancy test to check.
