Patient's question:
Because of an impulsive encounter with a man, I am now very worried about getting pregnant. What should I do if I don't get my period after taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
After taking emergency contraception pills, menstruation may either come earlier or later. However, if it is delayed by less than seven days, it is advisable to re-evaluate the possibility of pregnancy, meaning you should consider the likelihood of successful breastfeeding. It is recommended to use a pregnancy test kit to check for pregnancy. Since there is also a certain failure rate with emergency contraception pills, the impact on patients in gynecology is significant. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to dietary issues, focusing on light and nutritious foods. We hope that gynecology patients can receive professional treatment.
