Patient's question:
Doctor:Hello!
I would like to consult about whether having sex once every one or two months and taking an emergency contraceptive pill afterward is harmful to the body. Would this method affect contraception? Because I have a teratoma in my left ovary, I don’t know if taking emergency contraceptive pills will promote the growth of this tumor. I urgently need a reply. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Side effects of emergency contraception pills:1. Irregular vaginal bleeding during menstruation.
2. Excessive or insufficient menstrual flow.
3. Shortened menstrual cycle.
4. Increased vaginal discharge.
5. Breast swelling, palpitations, flushing, lower back pain, abdominal pain, etc.
6. Headaches.
If you frequently take emergency contraception pills, it may lead to menstrual irregularities, menstrual disorders, and even infertility. Take good care of yourself and consume more nourishing foods, such as blood-boosting and qi-tonifying ingredients like longan, jujubes, goji berries, and Chinese yam. Avoid strenuous physical activity and avoid exposure to cold environments.
