What is it?
Emergency contraception is a method used after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure to reduce the risk of pregnancy. Options include the emergency pill and the copper IUD.
The choice between these options depends on the time elapsed since unprotected sex, the point in the menstrual cycle and body weight. The pill's efficacy decreases with time, while the copper IUD remains effective for up to five days.
Emergency contraception does not protect against sexually transmitted infections. If there is a risk of STIs, the doctor may recommend additional testing. In any case, it is best to consult as soon as possible to choose the most appropriate option for each situation.
Read the full condition information
Time since sex, cycle timing, usual contraception and other medicines determine the most suitable option. Emergency pills do not protect against STIs, and the copper IUD remains the most effective emergency option.
HOW COMMON IT IS
Its use is common across all age groups. In Europe, a significant proportion of women have used emergency contraception at least once.
CAUSES
- Sexual intercourse without a condom or other contraceptive method
- Condom breakage or slippage
- Missed regular contraceptive pill
- Barrier method failure
- Unprotected sexual assault
- Incorrect calculation of the fertile window
TREATMENT APPROACHES
- Prescription treatment, when the doctor considers it appropriate
- Copper IUD (up to 5 days, most effective option plus ongoing contraception)
- Choice depends on time elapsed, weight and cycle timing
- Does not protect against STIs. Test if at risk
WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR
Ideally consult as soon as possible after unprotected sex, as emergency pill efficacy decreases with time. If unsure which option is best, a doctor can help decide.
