Emergency Contraception: Need to know

    • There are two methods of emergency contraception: copper-bearing intrauterine devices (IUDs) and emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs).

Emergency Contraception Need to know

Emergency Contraception is that method which is used as a method to prevent pregnancy after few days of intercourse. It is called emergency contraception because the parents have some accidents with intercourse. There may be a contraceptive failure, tearing of condoms, forget to take the Oral contraceptive pills etc.

There are two methods of emergency contraception: copper-bearing intrauterine devices (IUDs) and emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs).

World Health Organization (WHO) mentions that a copper-bearing IUD, as an emergency contraceptive, be inserted within 5 days of insecure intercourse. This may be a best emergency contraceptive for a woman who is hoping for an ongoing, highly effective contraceptive method. When inserted within five days of uncovered intercourse, a copper-bearing IUD is over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. This is the most effective form of emergency contraception accessible.

Once inserted, the woman can continue to use the IUD as an ongoing method of contraception, and she may choose to alter another contraceptive method in the future.

A copper-bearing IUD is a very safe form of emergency contraception. The risks of infection, expulsion or perforation are low. The only situation in which a copper-bearing IUD should never be used as emergency contraception is if a woman is already pregnant.

WHO also recommends levonorgestrel — a pill for emergency contraceptive use. The pill should be taken as a single dose within five days (120 hours) of unprotected intercourse. Alternatively, a woman can take this in two doses (12 hours apart).

Based on reports from nine studies including 10,500 women, the WHO-recommended levonorgestrel regimen is 52–94% effective in preventing pregnancy. The regimen is more effective the sooner after intercourse it is taken.

Levonorgestrel-alone emergency contraception pills are very safe and do not cause abortion or harm future fertility. Side-effects are uncommon and generally mild.

They should not be given to a woman who already has a confirmed pregnancy. However, if a woman inadvertently takes the pills after she becomes pregnant, the available evidence suggests that the pills will not harm either the mother or her fetus.
