Patient's question:
Irregular menstrual cycle, have taken birth control pills, menstrual cycle is unstable, not sure if pregnant, had menstrual bleeding for two days after taking emergency contraception, what's going on?Doctor's answer:
The situation with your partner should be a normal response after taking birth control pills, as they have the effects of withdrawal bleeding and delayed normal menstruation. Therefore, the minimal bleeding on the 17th should be due to withdrawal bleeding, and the absence of normal menstruation now is because it has delayed the body's normal excretion. Thus, it is recommended that you carefully observe for a few more days. If there is still no menstruation within a week, then it will be necessary to have a thorough examination at the hospital. Patients facing gynecological hazards should actively undergo examinations and treatments without avoiding medical visits. If gynecological conditions do not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
