Patient's question:
[Menstruation came, took an emergency contraceptive pill in the fourth month. Past treatment history and effectiveness: After taking the emergency contraceptive pill, what kind of help do you want: Do you ask if it has an impact on the child?]Doctor's answer:
After taking emergency oral contraceptives, you should stop breastfeeding for at least three days, and then avoid it as much as possible. This is mainly because it may cause a temporary increase in hormone levels in the infant. If the baby is a girl, it may lead to bleeding, but there is no need to worry as it can be metabolized naturally. Since the drug may affect the newborn through breast milk secretion, there is not much side effect if you only breastfeed in small amounts after taking the medication. In the future, it is best to insert an intrauterine device.
