What are the emergency contraceptive methods?

Nowadays, society is developing more and more rapidly, but many female friends do not know much about contraception. Many women’s pregnancy is not expected, so the final result is to have an abortion. However, we know that the harm of abortion is very large, so we must take contraceptive measures during sexual life. So what are the methods of emergency contraception afterwards?

Emergency contraception is a remedial measure to avoid pregnancy by taking medication within 72 hours after having sex without taking contraceptive measures or after contraceptive failure (such as condom breakage, slippage, loss of control of ejaculation outside the body, incorrect calculation of the safe period, etc.), or by placing a copper intrauterine device (commonly known as an IUD) within 5 days. There are two main methods you can take: taking medication or having a copper IUD inserted.

Many people know how to use emergency contraceptive pills, such as Yuting, Baoshiting, Anting, etc. No matter what kind of emergency contraceptive pills you take, you need to pay attention to the following: emergency contraceptive pills should not be used as regular contraceptive pills, and reliable contraceptive measures should be taken from taking the pills until the next menstruation. Emergency contraceptive pills can only be taken once a month. If vomiting occurs within 2 hours after taking the medicine, you should take another tablet immediately. Emergency contraceptive pills may advance or delay the next menstrual period. If your period still has not occurred after one week of the due date, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately to rule out pregnancy.

Another method of emergency contraception is to place a copper-containing IUD in the uterus within 5 days after sexual intercourse. In recent years, some studies have shown that delaying the placement until 7-10 days after sexual intercourse can also achieve better post-coital contraception effects.

The above is an introduction to the methods of emergency contraception after sex. I believe everyone should have a certain understanding of this knowledge. In fact, contraception at the time is still harmful to the body, especially taking some emergency contraceptive pills, so it is best for everyone to do relevant contraceptive work in advance.
