Everyone knows that all medicines are poisonous. Nowadays, having unprotected sex beforehand and taking emergency contraceptive pills afterwards is the main method of contraception that young people choose when they are unprepared.

Poor secretion will cause it to shrink and degenerate quickly, which is not conducive to the implantation of the fertilized egg. Oral emergency contraceptive pills should be taken within 72 hours (the sooner the better) after contraceptive failure or unprotected intercourse. If it occurs in the first half of the menstrual cycle, before the egg is released, emergency contraceptive pills can also inhibit or delay ovulation. Generally, it can only be used once a month and cannot be used every month. Because emergency contraceptive pills contain larger amounts of hormones than general short-acting oral contraceptives, frequent use is harmful to your health.

In addition, if emergency contraceptive pills fail to prevent pregnancy and the patient becomes pregnant, the incidence of neonatal malformations is high and the pregnancy must be terminated. Emergency contraception is not recommended for women over 40 years old. The main ingredient of emergency contraceptive pills is progesterone, which may affect the endocrine system after taking it. Women over 40 years old have declining ovarian function and their menstruation is easily affected. Taking the pills is more likely to cause menstrual disorders or amenorrhea.
