Safety and Usage
Taking two doses of Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg in one week is generally safe for healthy women, including those aged 25. However, it's meant for occasional use, not regular contraception. -
Effectiveness and Side Effects
- Effectiveness: Frequent use may reduce effectiveness and cause menstrual irregularities.
- Side Effects: Possible side effects include nausea, fatigue, headache, or changes in your period, which are usually temporary.
-
Consultation and Advice
- Consult a Healthcare Provider: If frequent use is needed, discuss more reliable contraceptive options with a healthcare professional.
- When to Seek Medical Advice: Consult a doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, or if your period is over a week late.
In summary, while taking two emergency contraceptive pills in one week is not typically harmful, consider regular contraception methods for ongoing protection. For personalized advice, consult your healthcare provider.

My mom has an 8.07.5 cm uterine fibroid in the right lateral wall and her endometrial echo is 10 mm. She's dealing with heavy bleeding should she go for surgery, and if so, would a hysterectomy or just a myomectomy be better? We're really confused about what to do next and would appreciate some guidance. I've attached her ultrasound pelvis report for reference.
fibroids larger than 5-6 cm (about 2-2.4 inches), especially if they are affecting your fertility, rapidly growing, or causing symptoms are an indication for hysterectomy
