How Long Do Birth Control Pill Side Effects Last?
Disease description:
I’ve heard that birth control pills can cause side effects for a long time. Today, I took one emergency contraceptive pill, and ever since, I’ve been feeling unwell. So I’d like to know: how long does it take for the side effects of emergency contraception to subside?

Hello,
Firstly, after taking contraceptive pills, individuals may experience various side effects. Due to individual physiological differences, the specific side effects women experience—and their duration—can vary significantly. Many women report nausea following emergency contraceptive use, and such medications may also affect the timing and pattern of menstruation. Typically, these side effects gradually subside within approximately one month.
