Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, under normal circumstances, taking emergency contraception within 72 hours of cohabitation is effective. Emergency contraception contains a high level of estrogen. The dosage of one emergency contraceptive pill is equivalent to 8 days of regular short-term oral contraceptives. Excessive dosage can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, menstrual cycle disorders, ovarian suppression, and other phenomena, disrupting normal menstruation and causing endocrine disorders. If taken for a long time, severe cases may result in amenorrhea. This can affect ovulation, thereby impacting fertility. Generally, no more than 3 pills should be taken in a year.
