Patient's question:
I had an abortion on December 27, 2015. On January 4, 2016, I had sexual intercourse. Do I need to take birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Considering that emergency contraceptives contain high levels of estrogen, taking them multiple times can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, menstrual disorders, ovarian suppression, and other phenomena. Generally, they can only be taken a maximum of 3 times a year. It is possible that the menstrual delay is caused by the contraceptive pill.
