Patient's question:
Hello, I had my period on the 20th. On the 13th, there was internal ejaculation, and I took an emergency contraceptive pill 12 hours later. It's now the 23rd, and my period hasn't arrived yet, and I'm experiencing breast tenderness. What should I do if my period hasn't come after taking the emergency contraceptive pill?Doctor's answer:
If your situation involves experiencing menstrual delay again after taking emergency contraception, there is still a possibility of pregnancy. It is recommended to actively undergo early pregnancy testing. Additionally, if the possibility of pregnancy is ruled out, there is a higher likelihood of endocrine disorder. It is advised to pay attention to adjusting your diet and emotions. It is recommended to consume less extremely cold and irritating foods. Considering the significant side effects of contraceptive medications, they may easily lead to irregular vaginal bleeding or menstrual disorders. It is advised to avoid using them frequently, and it is best to use protective measures during subsequent sexual activity.
