Is taking emergency contraceptive pills harmful to your health?

Especially for women who have frequent sexual intercourse, birth control pills are commonplace. Many times they take emergency contraceptive pills. Because they did not take birth control pills in time after sexual intercourse, they can only take emergency contraceptive pills at this time.

Taking too much can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, menstrual cycle disorders, ovarian suppression, etc., disrupting normal menstruation and causing endocrine disorders.

If taken for a long time, severe cases may cause amenorrhea. This will affect ovulation and thus pregnancy. Generally, take no more than 3 pills a year. Emergency contraceptives can be taken no more than 2-3 times a year. It will cause women to have early or delayed menstruation and endocrine disorders. There may be a risk of infertility. Contraceptives that can recover on their own 2-3 months after stopping the drug will affect endocrine levels, ovulation, and menstrual disorders, affecting fertility. It is recommended that you take them with caution. Emergency contraceptives can use mifepristone or levonorgestrel, but it is recommended to avoid using them as much as possible. For conventional contraception, short-acting contraceptives such as Marvelon are often used, and they need to be taken according to the physiological cycle.

Contraceptives will delay menstruation but will not affect ovulation. It is only recommended to take emergency contraceptives one to three times a year.
