How to prevent pregnancy afterwards?

Contraception has become a headache for many friends. Many friends now do not want children for various reasons, so they need to do a series of contraceptive work during sexual intercourse. However, many friends often forget about contraception during the passionate process, so they will take some contraceptive measures. Some friends don’t understand much about post-coital contraception, so how to prevent pregnancy afterward?

Female friends can consider taking emergency contraceptive drugs if they suffer accidental injuries or have unprotected sex for other reasons, or if contraception fails, such as condom breakage, slippage, or incorrect calculation of the safe period. After excluding pregnancy, healthy women of childbearing age should use the drug within 72-120 hours after sexual intercourse, but the failure rate is often higher if it is used after 72 hours. Each contraceptive pill contains 0.75 mg of levonorgestrel. Take one tablet orally after sexual intercourse and another tablet 12 hours later. The chance of pregnancy after taking the medicine can be reduced to 1%-3%. Patients may experience mild nausea and spotting after taking the drug. The chance of pregnancy after taking the medicine can be reduced to less than 1%, with few side effects and some individuals experiencing changes in menstrual periods. If vomiting occurs within two hours after taking the medicine, the medicine should be vomited out and the same dose should be taken again. There are a few points to note about emergency contraceptive drugs: First, emergency contraceptive drugs can only work for unprotected sexual intercourse this time, and the drug can only be taken once in a menstrual cycle. Other reliable contraceptive measures should still be taken during sexual intercourse after taking the drug in this cycle. Secondly, emergency contraception is only a temporary remedy and should never be used repeatedly as a regular contraceptive method. Third, if emergency contraception fails and the woman becomes pregnant, the incidence of neonatal malformations is high and the pregnancy must be terminated. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that emergency contraception should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
