Emergency contraceptive Q&A for all female friends -
What is emergency contraception?
Q
A
Emergency contraceptives, also known as post-mortem contraceptives, are used for unprotected or inadequately protected sex and are remedies used to prevent possible pregnancies, the main mechanism of which is to interfere with normal ovulation. The most commonly used emergency contraceptive pill is levonorgestrel.
How does emergency contraception work?
Emergency contraceptives interfere with women's ovulation and increase the consistency of cervical mucus, increasing the resistance of sperm penetration, while changing the morphology and function of the endometrium and preventing the fertilized egg from implanting, thus exerting a rapid contraceptive effect. In short, emergency contraception is the "big evil" who tries to prevent the egg from meeting sperm.
When should emergency contraceptives be taken?
Emergency contraceptives can only be taken orally within 72 hours of unprotected sex, beyond 72 hours it does not work, and the sooner it is taken, the more effective it is. It can only protect against this unprotected sex life and should not be had sex in this cycle unless condom contraception is used.
Can emergency contraceptives be used for routine contraception?
No. Emergency contraception is mainly used for after-the-fact remedies, i.e. after sex without safety measures, such as when a woman temporarily does not want children, a condom is broken, or a safety period is misestimated. However, the side effects of this drug are relatively large, and irrational use can cause endocrine disorders, menstrual disorders and irregular vaginal bleeding, so it cannot be used as a conventional contraceptive method.
Emergency contraception can only be used up to three times a year?
Not. The World Health Organization (WHO) believes that there is no clear evidence that reusing emergency contraceptives poses any health risks. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) believes that it can be taken multiple times, even during the same menstrual cycle. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mentioned in a comprehensive opinion on emergency contraceptives that there have been studies in which 8800 women have been given levonorgestrel in normal doses of 2 to 4 times the normal dose, taking an average of 6 to 8 months, with no serious consequences. So, the claim that you can only eat three times a year is wrong.
Does eating too much emergency contraception affect fertility?
Emergency contraception is considered safe and generally does not cause serious adverse medical reactions, but may produce side effects such as menstrual changes, nausea, headache, abdominal pain, and breast swelling. The effects of emergency contraceptives such as levonorgestrel on ovarian function and endometrium are only one-time. After a few days of medication, the drug is metabolized and excreted, and the woman can become pregnant in any subsequent sexual act without affecting future fertility.
After taking the medicine and finding out that she is pregnant, can the baby still want it?
Studies have found that emergency contraceptives do not harm both pregnant women and fetuses, and do not increase the risk of miscarriage, pediatric congenital malformations and pregnancy complications. Therefore, if pregnancy is discovered after taking the emergency contraceptive pill, the pregnancy can be continued.
What drugs can't be taken with emergency contraceptives?
Phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifampicin, carbamazepine, macrolide antibiotics such as erythromycin and roxithromycin, cimetidine, and antiviral drugs taken simultaneously with emergency contraceptives may cause drug interactions to affect their efficacy and should be avoided.
Why is yuzu the "nemesis" of the contraceptive pill?
Low-calorie, vitamin C-rich grapefruit with a sweet and sour taste is a favorite fruit of many people. Although the grapefruit itself is very healthy, it is the "nemesis" of the contraceptive drug. If a woman who takes the pill drinks a lot of yuzu juice, she may become a mother after the "wonderful moment" because the grapefruit hinders the absorption of the contraceptive pill and affects its efficacy.
The following must also be noted when taking emergency contraceptives:
1. If vomiting occurs within 2 hours after taking the drug, 1 tablet should be taken immediately;
2. Pregnancy monitoring should be carried out if the next menstrual period is 1 week overdue and is still on the rise;
3. Breastfeeding women should suspend breastfeeding for at least 3 days during this period, during which time milk should be expressed regularly.
