Can I take emergency contraceptive pills during my period?

Some friends may have sex during their menstrual period, and sex during their menstrual period is not necessarily 100% safe, so they will consider taking birth control pills. In fact, the possibility of getting pregnant during menstruation is very small. If you really get pregnant accidentally during menstruation, taking birth control pills can have a contraceptive effect. Of course, we do not advocate having sex during menstruation. Let’s talk in detail about some issues related to taking contraceptive pills during menstruation.

There are many ways to prevent pregnancy, and taking birth control pills is one of them. Many women are accustomed to taking long-acting birth control pills to prevent pregnancy, but some women do not pay much attention to taking birth control pills, and some even take birth control pills during menstruation. There is no need to take birth control pills during menstruation because the menstrual period is not the ovulation period, so there is no need to take birth control pills. The body's immune ability is already reduced during menstruation, and taking birth control pills will have a greater impact on the body.

Increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period: often occurs in people taking long-acting oral contraceptives. Hemostatic drugs can be used when bleeding is heavy. If the menstrual volume continues to increase and bleeding continues for more than 3 months, you should stop taking long-acting oral contraceptives and take short-acting ones instead. Breakthrough bleeding: Bleeding during medication, usually occurs after a missed dose. A small number of people may experience vaginal bleeding even if they have not missed a dose. If it occurs in the first half of the menstrual cycle, it may be bleeding due to estrogen deficiency. Decreased menstrual flow or amenorrhea: This often occurs after taking short-acting contraceptives. This is because the drugs inhibit ovulation, the ovaries secrete less estrogen, the amount of estrogen contained in the drugs is also less, the endometrium cannot grow normally, the endometrium is thin, so the menstrual flow is reduced or even amenorrhea occurs.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has gained a certain understanding of some issues regarding taking contraceptive pills during menstruation. I would like to say again here that female friends should not have sexual intercourse during menstruation. If they have sexual intercourse during menstruation, the risk of various gynecological diseases will greatly increase, especially the risk of vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and endometritis will increase significantly.
