Patient's question:
After taking emergency contraception once in a cycle, my period came 10 days early. This time it was delayed by 8 days. Could it be related to the emergency contraception I took last time? I wonder if taking emergency contraception can affect several menstrual cycles.Doctor's answer:
Contraceptives generally take about one menstrual cycle after stopping to fully recover. In your case, it seems you have almost fully recovered, and you should be able to have a normal cycle next time. The hormones in emergency contraceptives can adjust the menstrual cycle, so it is best to avoid taking two emergency contraceptives within one month. After stopping, it usually takes one or two menstrual cycles to return to normal. Wishing you good health.Gynecological and Obstetric conditions can be very serious, and it is recommended that patients seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care training, proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
The above answers are hoped to help you. Thank you.
