Does taking emergency contraceptive pills affect the fetus?

VnExpressVnExpress25/12/2023


I didn't know I was pregnant so I accidentally took an emergency contraceptive pill. Will it affect the baby in my womb? (Suong, 25 years old, Hanoi )

Reply:

Taking certain medications while pregnant can be dangerous to the health of the mother and fetus. However, some medications have little effect on the baby in the womb.

Emergency contraceptive pills are a type of hormonal medication that inhibits ovulation, prevents pregnancy, and prevents the fetus from implanting, but does not completely damage the fetus or affect the baby's development.

Some documents say that emergency contraceptive pills are hormonal drugs, so they will affect the fetus' hormones, causing masculinization of the female fetus. In fact, this risk is very low and rare. However, women still need to be careful and pay attention to their health to avoid this situation.

In case of accidental ingestion of medication, keep the medicine packaging and consult your doctor for appropriate advice when necessary.
