If it is an emergency contraceptive pill, it is generally effective within 72 hours. However, the earlier it is taken, the better the effect will be. However, it is also important to remind women not to take emergency contraceptive pills frequently, as it is only an emergency contraceptive measure. It contains a large amount of progesterone-based drugs, and frequent use may cause some side effects and harm to health.
1. Emergency contraceptive pills are composed of high-dose progesterone, which can make vaginal discharge sticky and block the cervical opening, preventing sperm from entering the uterus and preventing pregnancy. However, it can also affect the intrauterine environment and affect the implantation of the fertilized egg, achieving the purpose and effect of contraception. Generally, emergency contraceptive pills should be limited to no more than three times a year, and absolutely not more than once a month, otherwise it can easily cause severe menstrual disorders.
2. There are many contraceptive methods available today, and condoms are the most common and relatively high-success rate method. Therefore, when pregnancy and childbirth are not being considered, one must choose the safest, most appropriate, and most effective contraceptive method. Never rely solely on emergency contraceptive pills.
3. Emergency contraceptive pills are a remedial measure for contraceptive failure. They are not a conventional contraceptive method. This is a contraceptive choice that all men and women should be aware of. After childbirth, they can choose intrauterine devices or male sterilization surgery for contraception.
