Emergency contraception, commonly known as the “morning-after pill,” is a method used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It typically involves the use of hormonal pills or a copper intrauterine device (IUD) and must be taken as soon as possible after the incident to be effective. It’s important to note that emergency contraception is not an abortion method; it aims to prevent pregnancy and should be taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse.
The primary causes that may necessitate emergency contraception include unprotected sex, contraceptive mishaps (such as condom breaks), missed doses of regular birth control pills, sexual assault, and contraceptive method failures. These circumstances can significantly increase the risk of unintended pregnancies, prompting individuals to seek emergency contraceptive measures.
Emergency contraception employs different methods to prevent or delay pregnancy. Hormonal pills containing levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate are a common option. These pills primarily work by inhibiting ovulation—the release of an egg from the ovary. Additionally, they may alter cervical mucus consistency and the uterine lining, creating an environment less conducive to fertilization.
