Patient's question:
Patient's gender: FemalePatient's age: 25
Long-term separation from her husband, and this time they finally met, so she didn't take any contraceptive measures. But she doesn't want a child now. Can she take emergency contraception afterward? Is it sufficient to take it within 72 hours?
Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills are primarily intended for a single instance of unprotected sexual intercourse. The use of Yuzhentong emergency contraception pills is relatively simple: take two tablets of Yuzhentong within 72 hours after intercourse, or take one tablet within 24 hours, and then take the second tablet within 72 hours. Both methods can provide a certain level of protection. However, strictly speaking, the first and most important rule when taking emergency contraception is for women to check if they are already pregnant. If pregnancy has already occurred, it will lead to contraceptive failure.
