Is it normal to have a menstrual period one day after stopping gynecological medication?

Patient's question:

10.1 had her period and took emergency contraception around the 5th. Then around October 10th, she had her period again, and it wasn't until December 7th that she finally had her period. She feels like she didn't ovulate. She went to the hospital to check six hormones (checked when she hadn't had her period) and took gynecological medication. After stopping the medication for one day, her period came. Is it normal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, using gynecological drugs to regulate menstruation generally leads to the return of menstruation within 3 to 7 days after stopping the medication. Some people may not respond well to gynecological drugs, resulting in a longer waiting period, as there are individual differences. Maintaining a regular daily routine and balancing work and rest is important. Avoid frequent (overly exhausting nights) and excessive fatigue, as this can affect the endocrine system and lead to menstrual irregularities. If you take gynecological drugs to delay your menstrual cycle due to certain circumstances, your period should return to normal within a few days after stopping the medication.
