Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Is it right to have unprotected sex without a condom? Can I take an emergency contraceptive pill after it?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
An emergency pill is meant only for emergency and during accidental contacts. It should not be used for a routine purpose. It is better to go for a consistent method of contraception like condoms and oral contraceptive pills. Cyclical oral contraceptive pills have very less failure rate when compared to emergency pills. Emergency pills have high doses of hormones, and it causes delayed or irregular bleeding.
