Emergency contraceptives

summary

Emergency contraceptive is a contraceptive method used to prevent pregnancy in a period of time after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Drug contraception is the most commonly used method. Women who suffer from accidental injury or have unprotected sex for other reasons, or contraceptive failure, such as condom breakage, slippage and miscalculation of safety period, can consider taking emergency contraceptives, which are effective within 72 hours after sexual intercourse. If they have sex during medication, the time should be calculated again. So what are the side effects of emergency contraceptives? Next, I'll share my experience with you.

Emergency contraceptives

One: irregular uterine bleeding. Some women will have a bit of bleeding after medication, generally do not need to deal with, but to let the drug users understand this situation, do a good job before and after medication consultation, education.

Second: menstrual changes. Most women's menstruation will come on time, and some women's menstruation will be advanced or delayed. If menstruation is delayed for one week, a urine pregnancy test should be performed to determine whether emergency contraception fails.

Third: others. Breast pain, headache, dizziness, fatigue, etc., these symptoms are generally mild, lasting no more than 24 hours. Patients with severe breast pain and headache can be treated symptomatically with aspirin or other analgesics.

matters needing attention

1. Emergency contraceptives can only have contraceptive effect after the first one-time life, and can't have unprotected sexual intercourse after taking medicine. 2. A small amount of vaginal bleeding after medication is not a sign of successful contraception. If there is no menstrual bleeding, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. 3. If vomiting occurs within 1 hour after taking the medicine, it should be taken as soon as possible. 4. Emergency contraceptives can only be used occasionally and can not replace conventional contraceptive methods. 5. Emergency contraceptives are forbidden for pregnant women because they have no abortion effect on established pregnancies.
