Patient's question:
I and my boyfriend are both young. A few days ago, we had sex. My menstrual cycle has been unstable. I'm very afraid of getting pregnant. Please ask if taking birth control pills will affect the menstrual cycle?Doctor's answer:
Taking emergency contraception pills can affect the menstrual cycle. It's normal for your period to be delayed by five days now. Emergency contraception pills have certain side effects, which can lead to endocrine disorders, menstrual irregularities, and even irregular vaginal bleeding. The delay in your period is due to menstrual irregularity caused by taking emergency contraception pills. In addition to treating gynecological conditions, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
