Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. May I ask if I can take emergency contraception pills again after my period starts if I take them before my period?Doctor's answer:
The side effects of emergency contraception pills are very significant. Although they can sometimes delay menstruation, frequent use can lead to menstrual disorders and severe delays, as well as potentially causing fallopian tube blockage, which may affect future fertility.You can apply a bit of erythromycin ointment. Avoid sexual intercourse in the near future, as it may hinder recovery.
Additionally, since this is your first period after an abortion, it's best not to rush into sexual intercourse. This can increase the risk of cervical inflammation and may also cause pain.
