Patient's question:
I had my period on the 26th of last month. The day before yesterday, I had sex without ejaculation but there was pre-ejaculate. I took emergency contraception pills, which are effective within 72 hours. But today, I had sex again and still didn't ejaculate, though there was pre-ejaculate again. In this situation, should I still take the pills?Doctor's answer:
If you are not planning to get pregnant, it is recommended to use emergency contraception pills for birth control. If you are not planning to get pregnant, it is advisable to use condoms during intercourse or get an intrauterine device (IUD) for contraception. Emergency contraception pills should not be used less than three times a year, with at least one month between each use. Premature ejaculation can be stabilized, but the treatment usually takes a long time, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to develop good lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
