What are the dangers of taking emergency contraceptive pills?

Because at the moment of passion, no protective measures were taken, or there were unexpected consequences of the protective measures, in order to prevent themselves from getting pregnant, many girls will take oral emergency contraceptive pills to prevent pregnancy. This method of contraception is relatively effective and very convenient, so many girls will take the pill repeatedly for contraception. However, taking emergency contraceptive pills multiple times will have adverse effects on girls' bodies:

1. If emergency contraceptive pills are taken repeatedly and frequently, it may interfere with and suppress female ovulation. If taken in the short term, endocrine disorders may occur. However, a considerable number of women do not understand the side effects of emergency contraceptives, and take them blindly, for a long time, and in large quantities, which leads to reduced efficacy, menstrual disorders, or even amenorrhea, and may even affect normal ovarian function. Repeated and long-term abuse of emergency contraceptive pills can easily lead to unwanted pregnancy. The more abortions you have, the greater the harm. In mild cases, it can damage the cervix, endometrium and myometrium, and in severe cases, it can lead to loss of fertility.

2. Increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Many women rarely look closely at the side effects before taking emergency contraceptive pills, and some take them three or five times a year or even a month. Long-term blind and excessive use of emergency contraceptive pills can lead to menstrual disorders. Some people also experience irregular vaginal bleeding after taking the pills for a long time and multiple times, leading to pelvic inflammatory disease, which increases the risk of infertility and ectopic pregnancy.

3. Nausea and vomiting: When taking emergency contraceptive pills, nausea symptoms usually last no more than 24 hours. If you vomit within 1 hour after taking the emergency contraceptive pill, you should take another dose as soon as possible.

4. Premature ovarian failure occurs. Emergency contraceptive pills are generally single progestin pills. One of their working principles is to use large doses of progestin to inhibit ovarian function and thus inhibit ovulation. When women take them repeatedly in a short period of time, it will repeatedly inhibit ovarian function, thereby disrupting the normal endocrine axis in the body, and some people may even experience premature ovarian failure.

Therefore, taking emergency contraceptive pills occasionally can have a good contraceptive effect and will not cause great harm to the body. However, if you think emergency contraceptive pills are more convenient and do not use other contraceptive methods during intercourse, but instead take contraceptive pills repeatedly, this will be very harmful to the female body, so be sure to be careful.
