What are the emergency contraceptive measures?

Many people often have unprotected sex with one another, and they usually take some precautions to prevent pregnancy afterwards. However, if the method or measures are inappropriate, pregnancy may still occur.

The following seven points may give you some advice:

1. Emergency contraception is only an emergency method.

It is not a routine contraceptive measure.

You should choose the right contraceptive method for yourself instead of relying on frequent use of emergency contraceptive pills.

2. Emergency contraception should be performed under the guidance of a doctor. Emergency contraceptive pills should be taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse. The failure rate is higher if taken beyond 72 hours.

3. The effectiveness of emergency contraception is significantly lower than that of conventional contraceptive methods, and because of the high dosage (the dosage of one emergency contraceptive is generally equivalent to 8 days of conventional short-acting oral contraceptives), the side effects are also significantly higher than conventional contraceptives, such as changes in the menstrual cycle.

4. Excessive and frequent use of emergency contraceptive pills may cause harm to the body. Repeated use of emergency contraceptive pills can lead to menstrual disorders, prolonged bleeding or spotting, and cause inconvenience to women's lives and work.

5. Medical emergency contraception can only work for unprotected sexual intercourse during this cycle. Other reliable contraceptive measures should still be taken during sexual intercourse after taking the medicine during this cycle. If you are not careful, you may get pregnant during the month you take the medicine.

6. Emergency contraceptive pills can only be used once in a menstrual cycle, otherwise they will be ineffective the second time.

7. If emergency contraception fails and pregnancy occurs, the incidence of neonatal malformations is high and the pregnancy must be terminated.

The only thing you can do is take the emergency contraceptive pill "Houdinnuo, which is mifepristone tablets". It is an emergency contraceptive pill for after sex. The reaction seems to be better than Yuting. You can take one tablet within 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse, and the effect is very good. Although Post-Dingnuo will not affect your fertility, it should not be used as a regular contraceptive method because Post-Dingnuo will rebuild your menstrual cycle and interfere with your endocrine system, which is not a good thing and may cause problems other than the reproductive system. For fixed contraceptive methods, it is recommended to use mechanical contraceptive tools, such as IUDs, condoms, etc. 1. What side effects may occur after using emergency contraceptive drugs? (1) Nausea: The incidence of nausea in women using the Yuzpe method for emergency contraception is the highest, about 50%; levonorgestrel (Yuting type) is second, about 20%; mifepristone (Biyun, Houdingnuo type) is the lowest, about 6-7%. Nausea usually lasts no more than 24 hours and does not require special treatment. (2) Vomiting: About 20% of women who use the Yuzpe method for emergency contraception experience vomiting; about 5% for levonorgestrel (Yuting type); and about 1% for mifepristone (Biyun, Houdingnuo type). Taking the drug with food or before bedtime can reduce the incidence of nausea and vomiting. If you vomit within one hour of taking the emergency contraceptive pill, you should take another dose as soon as possible. (3) Irregular uterine bleeding: Some women may experience vaginal spotting after taking the medication. Generally, no treatment is required, but the patient should be informed of this situation and receive consultation and education before and after taking the medication. (4) Menstrual changes: Most women have their periods on time, but some women have their periods early or late. If your period is delayed by a week, you should do a urine pregnancy test to determine whether emergency contraception has failed. (5) Others: breast tenderness, headache, dizziness, fatigue, etc. These symptoms are usually mild. The duration does not exceed 24 hours. Severe breast pain and headache can be treated with aspirin or other painkillers. 2. Are there any special considerations when using emergency contraceptive pills, such as the interval between pills, drug interactions, and people who are not suitable for them? It is not suitable for people whose bodies are still developing. 3. How do you know whether emergency contraceptive pills are effective? Is the arrival of menstruation the only criterion? If you want to know whether you are pregnant, you can try using an early pregnancy test, which is available in pharmacies. 4. What should you pay attention to after successfully taking emergency contraceptive pills? Be sure to take contraceptive measures when having sex again. This medicine can only be taken once a month. 5. What should you pay attention to when buying emergency contraceptive pills? Go to a regular pharmacy to buy and pay attention to the shelf life. 6. What remedial measures should be taken after the emergency contraceptive pill fails to prevent pregnancy? If you take it according to the instructions, it will not fail, unless you develop drug resistance after taking it many times, in which case it may fail and you will have to have an abortion. 7. What should teenagers pay attention to when taking emergency contraceptive pills? Teenagers belong to the group of people with limited physical development and are not suitable for taking this medicine. If you must take it, there are no other special precautions. In addition: 1. There is currently no clinical evidence to indicate that there are lifelong irreversible side effects. 2. Of course there are some things to pay attention to. Different types of medicines are different. The common key points are: take the medicine as close to sexual intercourse as possible to increase the effectiveness; take the medicine on an empty stomach and do not eat within two hours to increase the absorption rate; take the medicine after vomiting; do not take medicines that increase liver enzyme activity at the same time, etc. 3. The arrival of menstruation only means that the possibility of pregnancy has been ruled out. I am not sure whether it is the efficacy of the drug. If an individual who is expecting a pregnancy does not get pregnant after taking the medicine, it is a sign that the medicine is effective. Generally, medicines can only prevent about 80% of expected pregnancies. 6. If the emergency contraceptive pill fails, it means pregnancy, and the only options are to give birth to the baby or have an abortion.

Emergency contraception provides a remedy for women who do not wish to have children after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. Using emergency contraception can avoid unwanted pregnancy and protect women's health.
