Doctor's answer:
Hello, after cohabitation, taking emergency contraception pills is effective within 72 hours, but its contraceptive effectiveness is about 85%. If taken within 12 hours after cohabitation, its contraceptive effectiveness can reach 95%. Emergency contraception pills can affect the menstrual cycle, potentially causing it to come earlier or later, with variations in flow volume—more or less—and may lead to menstrual disorders. In severe cases, it can cause infertility. Taking emergency contraception pills should not be used as a regular form of contraception. Only one dose should be taken per menstrual cycle, and no more than three times a year. Taking them frequently in a short period can lead to menstrual irregularities and reduce their effectiveness.
