What is Emergency Contraception?

Emergency contraception is a safe and effective method used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure (such as a broken condom or missed birth control pills). At our Gangnam women’s health clinic, we provide discreet, fast, and supportive emergency contraception services, helping you make informed decisions with confidence and care.


When to Use Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception is recommended if:

  • You had unprotected intercourse
  • Your regular birth control method failed (e.g., condom breakage, missed pills)
  • You were sexually assaulted
  • You had concerns about contraceptive reliability during intercourse

Timing is critical — the sooner you take emergency contraception, the more effective it will be.


أنواع وسائل منع الحمل الطارئة التي نقدمها

  • Emergency Contraceptive Pills ("Morning-After Pills"):
  • Levonorgestrel (Plan B type): Most effective within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse.
  • Ulipristal Acetate (Ella type): Can be effective up to 120 hours (5 days) after intercourse.
  • Copper IUD Insertion:
  • Inserting a copper IUD within 5 days of unprotected sex offers the highest efficacy in preventing pregnancy and also provides ongoing contraception for up to 10 years.

Your doctor will recommend the best option based on the timing and your health history.


How Effective is Emergency Contraception?

  • Emergency pills reduce the risk of pregnancy by up to 89% when taken within 72 hours.
  • Copper IUDs are over 99% effective when used as emergency contraception.

The effectiveness decreases the longer you wait, so prompt action is essential.
