Patient's question:
A few days ago, my boyfriend and I had sex without using a condom because we were having too much fun. He then bought me birth control pills to take. Now, I'm very worried because my period hasn't stopped. What should I do after taking birth control pills and having an uninterrupted period?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Oral emergency contraception can cause menstrual disorders. You should not take it more than twice a month or more than three times a year. Since you have experienced vaginal leakage and continuous bleeding, it is important to first rule out the possibility of pregnancy. After confirming that you are not pregnant, you can take some hemostatic medication and carefully monitor the situation. It should naturally improve. If it doesn't, you can use short-term contraceptive medication to regulate your period. Generally, it will improve within 1 to 2 months.
